The election of Woodrow Wilson last Tuesday will mark a new epoch in the history of this country, in the universal opinion of prominent politicians throughout the country at this time. The general opinion is that the election of Wilson will mean much to the prosperity of the country and will aid in the reduction of the high cost of living which has been charged to the Republican Party. The large electoral vote which was given Wilson is unprecedented in the history of the Nation and clearly showed that the country demanded a change. For the first time in nineteen years the country will be governed by a Democratic administration and the country has settled down to watch the outcome of the election. In the opinion of many the election of Wilson will mean the establishment of a public party will grow up betteriment toward the Democratic Party. It has been largely the carelessness of the Republican Party together with the beginning of the Third Party movement that has resulted in its overthrow. To the feet of Roosevelt may be charged the dastardly thing of splitting his party and springing upon the country a strange now thing which could not be sufficiently digested in just ninety days. The attitude of Wilson in the centenary campaign has on the confidence of his yellow citizens and his calm accruement as given forth in many statements give no cause for alarm. The Colored Democrats of the Metropolis rejoice in his election, and believe that he will carry out his words issued to Bishop Walters to the colored citizens during the campaign that he will give the Negro a square deal. The colored Democrats in this city are pleased with the straightforward way in which he has dealt with the colored question and the meeting of the issue of the Negro question. The greatest fight that has been waged in this country for political recognition, was waged by the colored Democrats of this city. The headquarters of the National Colored Democratic League of which Bishop Walter's is president was maintained in this city during the campaign and brought here some of the most prominent colored men of the race. The business-like way in which things were conducted at the headquarters much praised the National Committee and caused them to be regarded in a more favorable light. The headquarters of the enforced Democrate during the campaign was a busy scene. Bishop Walters directed the battle and his loyal followers gave him the needed support. At the headquarters, daily were well known men like Thomas Wallace Swann of Chicago of the Bureau of Publicity, James H. W. Howard of Washington of the Executive Committee, N. B. Marshall the famous lawyer of Washington, A. B. Coney, who conducted the Speakers' Burial, James L. Curtis, F. Q. Borton, James D. Carr, Robert W. Wood, Charles Barnes, R.W. H. Funkin and other officers. The PLANET Corps president who did much of the work for the enforced Democrate during the campaign was much impressed with the conduct and general department of the man. It was the first time in the political history of the race in this country that special headquarters had been set up, measured fully by colored man. Election day will long be remembered in this city. It was an ideal day and voting was heavy in the various electoral districts of the city. Long before the election, queens asked a strength of voting power on hand and surely be wise, in the end erased distractions and allowed and very little disruption to the city. The election of Wilson has already ensured much speculation among the colored Democrats as to who will make up "The Black Cabinet." It is the general opinion that Wilson will appoint colored men to the various offices that are now held by colored men. The colored Republicans holding office are already becoming uneasy, and are beginning to turn their attention for other sources of livelihood. It is believed that Bishop Walters will be consulted freely by Wilson in his choice of colored men to fill the federal federal offices. Governor Wilson will not be carried in his endeavor to find competent colored men to make "The Black Cabinet," for among the colored Democrats may be found some of the most highly trained men of the country. James L. Curtis, a well known lawyer of this city is already being talked about for the Register of the Treasury. Mr. Curtis is a prominent young man and is recognized as a timber for the Treasury department." Lawyer James D. Carr of this city who for a number of years has been a successful suburban counsel has been considered favorably for Assistant Attorney General now held by W. H. Lewis. Mr. Carr has had large legal experience and many years ago was appointed Assistant District Attorney of New York County by Asa Bird Gardner. Other colored men who will be considered in the appointment of offices will be James A. Ross of Chicago who directed the Western Head War of Washington; Robert L. Warring of Washington; and another "As We See It." Thomas Wallace Swann of Chicago who rendered effective work in the campaign as the head of the Bureau of Publicity; Monroe Trotter of the Boston Government; N. B. Marshall and A. B. County of Newark. An office of which is giving the colored Democrat much concern is the director of Port of this city of which Charles W. and B. present the holder. It has been learned from good authority that Governor Wilson aims to appoint a colored man to this office. The Clof Club, an organization of talented and versatile musicians, gave their Sixth Semi-Annual Musicale last Thursday evening at Manhattan Casino. A large and representative gathering well known to the musical and national life of the country was present. The audience of the entertainment musicians who have followed the entertainments of the Clof Club and who realize the versatility of its members. In the audience were well known men of national prominence like W. E. B. DuBois, who together with other prominent folks looked down from the boxes. The many new features that were seen for the first time the music made the entertainment the novel and desailing that has ever been this city. The electrical effect was superb and added much to the brilliancy of the occasion. The Clet Club musical has become to be recognised as the crowning social and musical event of the race in this country, and is watched with keen interest by music lovers of this and other cities. The fame of the organization for its presentation of classical and song by its talented members, was also large number of visitors from other cities. There were many from Boston, Washington and Chicago. The feature of the evening was the playing of the Clet Club Symphony Orchestra composed of 150 members conducted by James Reese Europe and William H. Tyrs. The musical program included popular and classic air composed by the members of the Clet Club and other well known composers. The program was also included many new songs and other features. Several new compositions by the members were presented for the first time. Prominent among these was The Silhouette (Dancing Shadows) by William H. Tyrs. one of the most gifted members of the Club. This composition took well with the ad-tune. Among the musical numbers that were praised from the audience were effective playing for the first time of Walt Disney's "The Fifth Hungarian Dancer." "The Fifth Vienna," composed by W. H. Tyrs; "The Strength of the Nation" by Europe and "Swing Along," composed by Will Marion Cooke and song by杰出 Clet Club chorus.

The occasion was being observed and prominent men and women in all walks of life john is praises of Mr. Dodson's faithful work to the Sunday School of the church. During the twenty years that Mr. Dodson has been Superintendent, the Sunday School has grown to be one of the largest and most influential schools of the country. The event took place Sunday afternoon, October 20th and was one of the most significant and notable tributes that has ever been paid a young man of the race. H. Wilson, assistant Superintendent, presided. Edward J. Paulson delivered the address welcome on behalf of the various departments of the school. Mrs. R. P. Hamlin spoke on "N. B. Dodson as Superintendent" and G. H. Carter spoke on "The Superintendent as a financier." A feature of the occasion was the address of Rev. Dr. Moses, pastor of the church who presented Mr. Dodson with an envelope containing a dollar for each year he has been Superintendent, and W. K. Taylor on behalf of the school presented Mr. Dodson with his envelope. Dr. Powell of New York spoke on behalf of the New England Baptist Convention and presented to Mr. Dodson a check representing each year he has been president of the Convention. Mrs. Anna Skerritt of Abbsianian Baptist Church Sunday School of New York closed the presentation with a bouquet of twenty roses with a five dollar piece in the center. Others who spoke in commendation of W. Dodson's work were George E. Widener, Mrs. M. C. L. E. V. C. Eats, Mrs. L. C. Smith, James H. Anderson of the Amsterdam News, Mrs. Silvia Harris and Wesley Horman. Mr. Dodson is one of the most prominent young men of Brooklyn. He takes a keen interest in all movements for race betterment. He is well known as a journalist and is doing effective work for the race that he has been given to his high place in his life of them by his sheer strength of character. He is a graduate of Wayland Seminary of Richmond, Va., and was matrilator of his class. He spent one year in the Academic department of the same school and returned to Brooklyn where he secured work as night clerk in the famous Old Piermont House of Brooklyn and was the first member of the race to hold such office. In 1897 he took up work with The American Press Association and shortly afterward founded the Afro-American Page, a six column Illustrated sheet which is used by most of the newspapers of the race. Mr. Dodson in the establishment of this page has done much for Negro journalism and strengthened the news service of the colored journalism to a large degree. The Afro-American page more than any other agency has the best interest of the race to the cause. Mr. Dodson as a journalist is broad and endeavors to select the very best material for his page. The race can well be proud of the type of young manhood as represented by Mr. Dodson. Plant Correspondent Fighting For Colored Nations. THE PLANET readers will recall that reference was made a few weeks ago of the barring of colored sailors from the Naval Parade recently held in this city. Dealing to get to the bottom of the case I called attention of President Taft to the matter asking him to take up the matter with the Secretary of the Navy. Your appointment has just received the following from the department in answer to his inquiry who colored sailors were barred out of the parade: "My Dear Sir; With reference to your letter of October 22d, permit me to say that at the President's direction the matter was taken up with the Secretary of the Navy who advised that the department is not aware of any discrimination having been shown. It is customary in selecting men for the battalions in land parades to choose men from the gun and deck division, in which, it so happens there are comparatively few men." Since, pour Correspondent opened this question the colored sailors have become interested and urging a continued investigation. The local press of the city is joining in the fight. Bishop Walton Off for the South. Bishop Alexander Waller left for North Carolina last week where he will hold the first of his Southern conferences. The Bishop will look forward to a successful conference. The North Carolina conference is one of the largest of the Elon conferences and the strongest man of the connection. The Bishop will doublenb be gone until late in December. Mrs. Waller the charming mistress of the Bishop is pleasing over the Episcopal residence with her usual greasures gifts. That good can be accomplished through home talks was proven when Dr. P. G. Galloway conducted the revival services of St. Michael Church and secured its converts and 12 backsliders. It has been the custom here to need our strangers to carry on this work or to have some one who does not live in the neighborhood. Even the church pastors sometimes hesitate to take hold of this work. It was therefore a bishop exempt for Gilmore who is a yeoman in the ministry. We consecrated Gilmore in his success when we remember services had just ended at Organ Hill Church with only one convert, and was carried on by one of the best preschers in the State. Mercy Baskerville, one of the most wicked boys in Dr. James Branch was an abolitionist. Mercy fell like a dead man and remained for some time, but now has all the marks of a married man and a Christian. Several other hard sinners, so to speak, who had gone through several meetings were converted under Mr. Gilmore. A letter supposed to be from Whitfield Read in West Virginia was received by his Brethren Taylor Read, of Eureak, Va., saying that certain dispositions be made of his money would not act against him. It is yet doubtful where he is bound whether he is living or dead. His wife, Mrs. Nellie Read of Baltimore is here trying to learn something of his disappearance. * Virtuata' Day at Fifth Street.

A false report to the effect that the Mechanics Bank, a strong colored institution, had refused to cash a check drawn for $10.85 caused a run on that bank, which continued through two days, but was finally checked through the assurances of State Bank-Examiner C. C. Barkndale, of the State Corporation Commission, and representatives of the First National Bank and the American National Bank. The colored bank clears through the latter house, and both rushed to its rescue at the first alarm with over $26,000. The net withdrawals were approximately $5,000, nine-tenths of which has again been deposited by reassured depositors. The refusal of the teller to cash the check which caused the trouble was because it was presented after banking hours. The Mechanics Bank has a beautiful new building, excellent credit and standing, and one of the finest vaults obtainable. It is operated entirely by Negroes...American Bank er. New York, N.

Reviews the Results of the Great Swaggle. That thirty per cent of the colored vote in certain States was cast for Governor Wilson and even a greater per cent in Massachusetts. Connecticut and New York, is the estimate of Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, the manager of the campaign headquarters of The National Independent Political League in this city. A day or so ago the Doctor sent to Governor Wilson the following telegram: "The National Independent Political League congratulates you upon your appointment and acceded victory and rejoices that it has hand in making your success and that of the Democratic Party the stupendous thing it is. The Republican Party is dead and the colored man has received his political emancipation—hereafter he will be found in all parties." OFFICERS ELATED Dr. Waldron has just issued a statement in which he says: "The officers of our League are naturally much elated at the overwhelming success of Wilson and Marshall, particularly as we believe our League contributed very materially to that result." "It is, of course too early to make much of a claim based on a close analysis of the vote cast, but from other evidences we feel safe in stint and the likely progeny of an coined voter supported Wilson in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Indiana and Ohio and probably twenty per cent in Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Illinois and Missouri. It was in these States that the work of the League was mainly concentrated. "The results in Massachusetts and Connecticut are particularly notable. These States as well as New York and New Jersey were covered more particularly by our Eastern headquarters in these States we were greatly helped by the Boston Guardian a very influential colored newspaper edited by W. Monroe Trotter, and we also had the assistance of The New England Suffrage League. THE SITUATION UNDERSTOOD. "Very early in the fight the League recognized that the most dangerous rival of Governor Wilson would be Roosevelt, and for reasons that need not be gone into now, our chief efforts must be to prevent the independently inclined colored people from drifting to him. "Hence our fight was largely centered on Roosevelt, especially in New England and New York where independence among colored voters and even straight Democracy, was already well established. The results showing Roosevelt third in the States where there was a considerable colored vote fully confirms our judgment and our claims. LESS THAN FIFTY PER CENT. "In fact we do not think it extravagant to state that less than fifty percent of our people voted for the two Republican candidates in the New England States and New York. "Naturally—the colored office-holders here, who are in the presidential employment class, are very sad; of them appeared to be, or pretended to be, the Republican Taft's relection. No doubt a few wavering colored voters were kept on the sinking ship by the confident assurances of these office holders. "We rejoice, however, that the main thing that we have struggled for has been accomplished; we have shattered the chains that bound the race en-masse to the tail of the Republican cart, and have shown at least to the manly and broad-guaged voters the race lies in the same direction as that of the other part of "The common people—the working folks—of our country." THINKING FOR HIMSELF. "The results of this election make it clear that the colored man is thinking for himself in politics and we propose to keep our organization alive and active in order to push and spread the work we have begun. "I am glad to say that the high plane on which Governor Wilson's campaign was conducted has materially aided us and served to resemble a reactive character as to my race by a Democratic speaker was brought to my attention during the entire campaign, and that was by a speaker right here in Washington, but it seems not to have been taken seriously by anybody. "There is not the slightest fear among the leaders of our League that bad results to the colored American will flow from the Democratic victory, and I am to say, with the hope of seeing the leaders in this movement for the political constitution of the colored man, are men of education products of the best schools." goodly number being from Harvard Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and Amherst, and from leading colleges more especially for colored, such as Lincoln, Howard, Atlanta, Fisk and Wilberforce. "Such men as these are not easily frightened by burugboos, and they know also that the interests of the colored voters are identical with those of the masses of all other races in this country." "It is, after all, a rather humilizing thing to admit that it has required stronguous and heroic efforts to accomplish it trained in the fight for "The Second Emancipation of the Race," but it is gratifying to know that the completion of the task will be easier than its beginning." Rev. D. W. Davis to preach at Fifth Baptist Rev. D. Webster Davis will presach at the Fifth Baptist Church, corner Plum and Cary Gta. Third Sunday, November 17, 1912, 11:30 A. M. and 3:30 P. M.

Indicted on Four Counts for Violation of Mason Act—Released on Ball. --- Chicago, Nov. 7. — Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight prize fighter, was arrested by Federal officers tonight, charged with a violation of the Mahn white slave law. His arrest followed a return of the Federal grand jury of an indictment charging him with having caused the transportation of Belle Schroiber, a white woman, 26 years old, from Pittsburgh to Chicago, August 10, y@10 for an unlawful purpose. Federal officers searched the South side several hours before Johnson was found hiding in a hotel surrounded by four Negro guards. An attempt was at first made by the guards to prevent the officers from entering Johnson's rooms, but they were pushed aside, and the government warrant was served on the prize fighter without serious difficulty. At the Federal building, years came to his eyes as the officers put handcuffs on his wrists. "You don't have to do this, I'm not going to run away, he said, 'I'm square—you ought to know that.' Our bonds had been fixed at $30,000, but all the Federal judges had left the building for the night, and destined to leave their homes to go through the formality of escaping half. After several hours' work, Johnson found a secret work to act, and the police fighter was taken to the hops of his legal mother on the South side, who escaped the bonds, along with several others, and Johnson was released from custody.

D'ARTAGNAN was astonished by the terrific confidence of Athos, and yet many things appeared very obscure to him in this partial revelation. In the first place, it had been made by a man quite drunk to one who was half drunk, and yet in spite of the uncertainty which the vapor of three or four bottles of Burgundy carries it to the brain, D'Artagnan, when awaking on the following morning, had every word of Athos as present to his memory as if they fell from his mouth; they had been impressed upon his mind. He found Athos quite himself again—that is to say, the most shrewd and impenetrable of men. "I was pretty drunk yesterday, D'Artagnan," said he. "I would lay a winger I uttered a thousand absurdities." "Nei replied D'Artagnan. "If I recollected what you said it was nothing out of the common way." "Indeed, you surprise me. I thought I had related a most inertable history to you." And he looked at the young man as if he would read to the very dwarf of his heart. "Ot. said D'Artagnan, 'it would an- pear that I was morgue drunk than you, since I remember nothing of the kind." But this did not deserve Athos, and he resumed: "I certainly never will get drunk again, D'Artagnan—it is too bad a habit." D'Artagnan remained silent. Then Athos, changing the conversation all at once: "By the bye. I thank you for the horse you have brought me," said he "I have parted with him." "How?" "Why, here is the simple fact: This morning I awoke at 6 o'clock. You were still fast asleep, and I did not know what to do with myself. I was still stupid from our yesterday's debauch. As I came into the public room I saw one of our Englishmen bargaining with a dealer for a horse, his own having died yesterday from bleeding I drew near and found he was bidding 100 pistoles for a $1 chestnut nug My good gentleman. I have a horse to sell, too," said I. "Ay, and a very fine one! I saw him yesterday—your friend's lackey was leading him." "Do you think he is worth 100 pistoles?" "Yes; will you sell him to me for that sum?" "No; but I will play at dice for him." "No sooner said than done, and I lost the horse. Ah, ah! but please to observe I won back the caparison," cried Athos. D'artagnan looked much disconcerted. "That horse was to have assisted in making his known in the day of battle. It was a pledge—a remembrance. Athos, you have done very wrong." "It verses, me greatly," continued Athos. "that you attach so much importance to these animals, for I am not yet at the end of my story." "What else have you done?" "After having lost my own horse, nine against ten-see how near! I formed an idea of staking yours." "Yee-but you stopped at the iden, I hope?" "No; for I put it in execution that very minute." "And the consequence?" said D'Artagnan in great anxiety. "I threw, and I toot." "What, my horse?" "Your horse." "Athos, this is frightful." "Stop a minute; you don't know all yet. I should make an excellent gambler if I were not too hot headed; but I became so, just as if I were drinking. Well, I was hot headed then—" "Well, but what else could you play for—you had nothing left?" "Oh! yes, yes, my friend; there was still that disquiet left which sparkles on your finger, and which I observed yesterday." "I hope," said D'Artagnan, half dead with fright, "you made no mention of my diamond?" "On the contrary, my dear friend, this diamond became our only resource. With it I might regain our horses and their furniture and, still further, money to pay our expenses on the road." "Athos, you make me tremble," cried D'Artagnan. "We divided, then, this diamond into ten parts of 100 pistoles each. Ten throws of 100 pistoles each—ten throws without revenge. In thirteen throws I lost all—in thirteen throws." "Heaven's," cried D'Artagnan, rising from the table. "Patience, patience!" said Athos, "I had a plan. The Englishman was an original. I had seen him conversing that morning with Grimaud, and Grimaud had told me that he had made him proposals to enter into his service. I staked Grimaud—the silent Grimaud—divided into ten portions." "Well, what next?" said D'Artagnan, laughing in spite of himself. "Grimaud himself, understand, and with the ten parts of Grimaud, which are not worth a ducretion, I won back the diamond. Tell me, now, whether you don't think persistence is a virtue? "This is a droll story," cried D'Artagnan, a little consoled and holding his sides with laughter. "You may easily guess that, finding the luck turned, I again staked the diamond. I won back your furniture, then your horse, then my furniture, then my horse, and then I lost again. To make short, I regained your furniture and then mine. That's where we left off. That was a superb throw. so I left off there." D'Artagnan breathed as if the whole hostelry had been removed from off his chest. "Then I understand," said he timidly, "the diamond is safe. But what is the use of horse furniture without horses?" "I have an idea concerning them. You have not played for a long time, D'Artagnan. You ought, then, to have a good hand." "Well, what then?" "Well, the Englishman and his companion are still here. I remarked that he regretted the horse furniture very much. You appear to think much of your horse. In your place, now, I would stake the furniture against the horse." "Stake both. I am not selfish, if you are." "You would do so?" said D'Artagnan, undecided, so strongly did the confidence of Athos begin to prevail, unknown to himself. "In one single throw." "But having lost the horses, I am particularly anxious to preserve the furniture." "Stake your diamond, then." "This. No, thank you; that's quite another thing. Never, never." "Well," said Athos, "I would propose to you to stake Panchet, but as that has already been done, the Englishman would not, perhaps, be willing. Try one throw." "And if I lose?" "Well, you will surrender the furalture." "I will try one throw," said D'Artaan. D'Artagnan threw the dice with a trembling hand and turned up the number three. His paleness terrified Athos, who, however, contented himself with saying: "That's a sad throw, comrade. You will have the horses fully equipped, monsieur." The Englishman, quite triumphant, did not even give himself the trouble to shake the dice; he threw them on the table without looking at them, so sure was he of victory; D'Artagnan himself had turned on one side to conceal his ill humor. "There, there, there!" said Athos, with his quiet tone; "that throw of the dice is extraordinary. I have only witnessed such a one four times in my life. Two aces, gentlemen." The Englishman looked, and was seized with astonishment, D'Artagnan looked and was seized with pleasure. "Then monsieur takes his horse back again," said the Englishman. "Our conditions said no revenge, you will please to recollect." "A moment!" said Athos; "with your permission, monseur, I wish to speak a word with my friend." "If you please." Athos drew D'Artagnan on one side. "I would take the 100 pistoles. You know you have staked the furniture against the horse or 100 pistoles, at your choice." "I will take the horse." "In which, I repeat, you are wrong. What is the use of one horse for us two? I could not get up behind. You cannot think of humiliating me by riding by my side, prancing along upon that magnificent charger. We want money to carry us back to Paris." "I am much attached to that horse. Athos." "And there again you are wrong; a horse ain't and injures a joint. There is a horse, or rather 100 pistoles, lost; a master must feed his horse, while, on the contrary, 100 pistoles feed their master." "But how shall we get back to Paris?" "Upon our lackeys horses." "Your advice, then, is—" "To take the 100 pistoles, D'Artagnan. With the 100 pistoles we can live well to the end of the month. We have undergone a great deal of fatigue, remember, and a little rest will do us no harm." "I rest! Oh, no, Athos. The moment I am in Paris I shall prosecute my researches after that unfortunate woman." "Well, you may be assured that your horse will not be half so serviceable to you for that purpose as the money." D'Artagnan acquiesced, then, and chose the 100 pistoles, which the Englishman paid down immediately. They then determined to depart. Peace with the landlord in addition to Athos' old horse, cost 6 pistoles. D'Artagnan and Athos took the nage of Planchet and Grimdund, and the two lackeys started on foot, carrying the saddles on their heads. However ill our two friends were mounted, they soon got far in advance of their servants and arrived at Crevecoeur. From a distance they perceived Aramis seated in a melancholy manner at his window. "Hold! Ha, Aramis! What are you doing there?" cried they. "Ah! Is that you? D'Artagnan, and you, Athos?" said the young man. "I was reflecting upon the rapidity with which the blessings of this world leave us, and my English horse, which has just disappeared amid a cloud of dust, has furnished me with a living image of the fragility of things of the earth. I have just been duped. Sixty lours for a horse which by the manner in which he goes can do at least five leagues an hour." D'Artagnan and Athos burst into a loud laugh. "My dear D'Artagan," said Aramis, "don't be too angry with me, I beg of you. Necessity has no law. Besides, I am the person punished, as that rescuely horse dealer has robbed me of 60 platoons at least. Ah, you fellows are good managers. You ride on your lackys' horses and have your own gallant steeds led along carefully by hand at short stages." At the same instant a market cart, which had for some minutes appeared upon the Amlens road, pulled up at the inn, and Planchet and Grimaud got out of it with the saddles on their heads. The carter was going to Paris and had agreed, on condition of being prevented from feeling thirst upon the road, to convey the lackys and their burdens thither. "How is all this?" said Aramis, on seeing them arrive. "Nothing but saddles?" "Now do you understand?" said Athos. "Oh, yes, all alike. I retained my furniture by instinct. Hols, Baxin! Bring my new saddle and carry it with those of these gentlemen." They made a halt for an hour to refresh their horses. Aramis discharged his bill, placed Baxin in the cart with his comrades, and they set forward to join Porthea. They sound him up, less pale than when D'Artagnan left him and seated at a table on which, though he was alone, was spread enough for four persons. This dinner consisted of viands nicely dressed, choke wines and superb fruit. "Ah," said he, rising, "you come in the sick of time. Gentlemen. I was just beginning the potage, and you will dine with me." "Do you know what we are eating, here?" said Athos, at the expiration of about ten minutes. "We are all eating bernedoe." "Mistaking what he said D'Artagnan. "Horror!" said Aramis, with a look of disgust. Perthon alone made no reply. "Yes, real horse. Are we not. Portho, eating a horse—and perhaps his saddle?" "No, no, gentlemen; I have kept the furniture," said Portho. "Well," said Aramis, "we are all bad alike. One would think we acted upon agreement." "Then your duchess is still taking the waters?" asked D'Artagnan of Portho. "Yes, still!" replied Portho. "And the governor of the province, one of the gentlemen I expected today, seemed to have such a wish for him that I gave him to blim." "Gave him?" crelled D'Artagnan. "Lord! Yes, gave it to him; you can't call it anything but a gift," said Portho. "for the animal was worth at least 150 loins, and the stingy fellow would only give me so!" "Without the saddle?" said Aramis. "Yes, without the saddle." "You will please observe, gentlemen," said Athos, "that Porthos has made the best bargain of any of us." And then commenced a roar of laughter in which they all joined, to the astonishment of poor Porthos; but when he was informed of the cause of their bility, his laughter, according to custom, was more vociferous than anybody's. On arriving in Paris, D'Artagnan found a letter from M. de Treville, which informed him that, at his request, the king had promised that he should be admitted to the company of the musketeers. As this was the height of D'Artagnani's worldly ambition, apart, he it well understood, from his desire of finding Mine, Bonacieux, he ran, full of joy, to seek his comrades, whom he had left only half an hour before, but whom he found very sad and deeply preoccupied. They were assembling in council at the residence of Athos, which always indicated an event of some seriousness. M. de Treville had intimated (to them that, it being his majesty's fixed intention to open the campaign on the list of May, they must immediately get ready all their appointments. "And what do you reckon your appointments will cost?" said D'Artagnani. "Oh, we can scarcely venture to say. We have made our calculations with Spartan economy, and we each require 1,500 litres." "Four times fifteen make sixty—ah! 0,000 litres," said Athos. "For my part, I think," said D'Artagnani, "with 1,000 litres each—" "Stop!" said Porthos. "I have an idea." "Well, that's something; for my part, I have not the shadow of one," said Athos coolly. "But as to D'Artagnan, the idea of belonging to us, gentlemen, has driven him out of his senses. A thousand lives! For my part, I declare I want 2,000." "Four times (we make eight, then), said Aramis. "It is 8,000 that we want to complete our appointments, of which appointments, it is true, we have already handsome saddles." "Heslidet," said Athos, waiting till D'Artagnan, who went to thank M. do Troville, and shut the door, "besides, there is that beautiful ring which beams from the finger of our friend. D'Artagnan is too good a comrade to leave his brothers in embarrassment while he wears the ransom of a king on his finger." CHAPTER XXIII. THE most preoccupied of the four friends was certainly D'Artagnan. Notwithstanding all his impulses respecting Mime, Bonacieux, he could obtain no intelligence of her. M. de Treville had spoken of her to the queen; the queen was ignorant where the mercer's young wife was, but had promised to have her sought for. Athos did not leave his chamber. He made up his mind not to take a single step to provide for his equipment. "We have still a fortnight before us," said he to his friends. "Well, if at the end of a fortnight I have found nothing, or, rather, if nothing has come to find me, as I am too good a Catholic to kill myself with a pistol bullet, I will seek a good cause of quarrel with four of his eminence's guards or with eight Englishmen. I will fight until one of them has killed me, which, considering the number, cannot fail to happen. It will then be said of me that I died for the king, so that I shall have performed my duty without the expense of equipment." Portions continued to walk about with his hands behind him, tossing his head and repouting: "I shall follow up my idea." Aramis, anxious and negligently dressed, said nothing. As Porthos had first found an idea and had thought of it earnestly afterward, he was the first to act. D'Artagnan perceived him one day walking into the church of St. Leu and followed him instinctively. As D'Artagnan took some presentations to conceal himself, Porthos believed he had not been seen. D'Artagnan entered behind him. Porthos went and leaned against the side of a pillar. D'Artagnan, still imperceived, supported himself against the other side of it. There happened to be a sermon, which made the church very full. Porthos took advantage of this circumstance toogle the women. Thanks to the care of Mousqueton, the exterior was far. From announcing the distress of the interior, and Porthos was still the handsome Porthos. D'Artagan observed, on the bench nearest to the pillar against which Porthos leaned, a sort of ripe beauty, rather yellow and rather dry, but erotic and haughty, under her black blood. The eyes of Porthos were fortuitely cast upon this lady and, then posed about at large over the nave. On her side, the lady, who from time to time blushed, started with the rapidity of lighting a glance toward the mountaintop Porthos. He, needing this, began to make signals to a beautiful lady who was heavy the chest. And she not only was a beautiful lady, but still further no doubt, a great lady, for she had behind her a negro boy, who had brought the cushion on which she knelt, and a female servant. The lady with the red cushion produced a great effect—for she was very handsome—upon the lady with the black hood, who saw in her a rival really to be dreaded; a great effect upon Porthos, who thought her much more pretty than the lady with the black hood; a great effect upon D'Artagnan, who recognised in her the lady of Meng, of Calais and Dover, whom his persecutor, the man with the scar, had saluted by the name of milady. D'Artagnan, without losing sight of the lady of the red cushion, continued to watch the proceedings of Porthos, which amused him greatly. He directly guessed that the lady of the black hood was the lawyer's wife mentioned by the inklekeeper of Chantilly as Porthos "duchess." He guessed, likewise, that Porthos was taking his revenge for the defeat of Chantilly, when the woman had proved so refractory with respect to her purse. The sermon over, the lawyer's wife advanced toward the basin of holy water. Porthos went before her and, instead of a finger, dipped his whole hand in. The procureure smiled, thinking that it was for her that Porthos put himself to this expense, but she was cruelly and promptly undecided. When she was only about three steps from him he turned his head round, fixing his eyes invariably upon the lady of the red cushion, who had risen and was approaching, followed by her black boy and her maid. When the lady of the red cushion came close to Porthos, Porthos drew his dripping hand from the basin. The fair devotee touched the great hand of Porthos with her delicate fingers, smiled, made the sign of the cross and left the church. This was too much for the other woman. She entertained no doubt that there was an affair of galantry between this lady and Porthos. She contented herself with saying to the musketeer with concentrated fury: "Eh, M. Porthos, you don't offer me any holy water?" Porthos at the sound of that voice started like a man awakened from a sleep of a hundred years. "Ma-madame," cried he. "Is that you! How is your husband, our dear M. Coquenant? Is he still as stingy as ever! Where can my eyes have been not to have eyes perceived you during the two hours the sermon has lasted?" "I was within two paces of you, monseur," replied she, "but you did not perceive me because you had no eyes but for the pretty lady to whom you just now gave the holy water." Porthos pretended to be confused. "Yes," said he; "that is a duchess of my acquaintance with whom I have great trouble to meet on account of the jealousy of her husband and who sent me word that she should come today." "M. Porthos," said the procureuse, "will you have the kindness to offer me your arm for five minutes? I have something to say to you." "Certainly, madame," said Porthos, winking to himself. At that moment D'Artagnan passed in pursuit of miffy. He cast a passing glance at Porthos and behold this triumphant look. "Ah, M. Porthos," cried she—"ah, M. Porthos, you are a great conqueror, it appears. That must be a princess at least, that indy with her negro boy and her maid." "Madame, you are deceived; she is simply a duchess." "Ah, you are quite the pet of the ladies, M. Porthos! How quickly men forget!" "Still less quickly than the women, in my opinion," replied Porthos; "as a proof, madame, I may say I was your victim; when wounded, dying, I was abandoned by the surgeons; I, the offspring of a noble family, who placed reliance upon your friendship, I was near dying of my wounds at first and of hunger afterward, in a beggarly inn at Chantilly, without your ever deligning once to reply to the burning letters I addressed to you." "But, M. Porthos," murmured the woman, who began to feel that, to judge by the conduct of the great ladies of the time, she was wrong. "It was my husband that would not heat of lending." "Mme. Coquenard," said Porthos, "remember the first letter you wrote me, and which I preserve engraven in my memory." The woman pittered a groan. "Besides," said she, "the sum you required me to borrow was rather large; you asked you wanted 1,000 livres." "Fle, madame, dee," said Porthos, as if disgusted; "let us not talk about money, if you please; it is humiliating." "Then you no longer love me!" said his companion slowly and sadly. "Think of the offense you have committed toward me, madame! It remains here." said Porthos, placing his hand on his heart and pressing it strongly. "I will repair it; indeed I will, my dear Porthos." "Besides, what did I ask of you? A loan, nothing more. After all, I am not an unreasonable man. I know you are not rich. Mme. Coquenard, and that your husband is obliged to bleed his poor clients to squeeze a few paltry crowns from them." She was plied. "Please to know. M. Porthos, that my strong box, strong box of a lawyer wife as it may be, is better filled than those of your ruined minces." "That, then, doubles the offense," said Porthos, disgrazing his arm. "for If you are rich. Mine. Coquenard, then there is no excuse for your refusal. Let us say no more upon the subject. I beg of you. You don't know me—all sympathy is extinct between us." "Begone, then, to your beautiful success. I will detain you no longer." "And she is not to be despised, in my opinion." "Now, M. Porthon, once more, and this is the last! Do you love me still?" "Alas, madame," said Porthon, in the most melancholy tone he could assume. When I do this about us water the campaign, a campaign in which my protestants tell me I shall be killed in a fortress's time this fatal camp campaign is to open. I shall be fearfully engaged in providing for my equip BARRERA "Besides," said she, "the sum you required me to borrow was rather large." Ment. Then I am obliged to make a journey to my family in the lower part of Brittany to obtain the sum necessary for my departure." Porths observed a last struggle between love and avarice. "And as," continued he, "the duchess you saw at the church has estates near to those of my family, we mean to make the journey together. Journeys, you know, appear much shorter when we travel two in company." "Come to our house tomorrow," said the woman. "You are the son of my aunt, consequently my cousin; you come from Noyon, in Picardy; you have several lawsuits and no lawyer. Can you collect all that? "And be upon your guard before my husband, who is rather shrewd not withstanding his seventy-six years. The poor man may be expected to leave a widow every hour," continued she, throwing a significant glance at Porthos. "Fortunately by our marriage contract the survivor takes everything." "You are a woman of precaution, I see, my dear Mime. Coquenard," said Porthos, squeezing the hand of the procureure tenderly. "We are, then, reconciled, dear M. Porthous?" said she, simping. "For life," said I'orthos in the same manner. CHAPTER XXIV. D'ARTAGNAN followed miliady without 'being perceived by her. He saw her get into her carriage and heard her order the coachman to drive to St. Germain. It was useless to endeavor to keep pace on foot with a carriage drawn by two powerful horses. D'Artagnan returned to the Rue Feron. In the Rue de Selle he met with Planchet and ordered him to go andaddle two horses in M. de Treville's stables, one for himself (D'Artagnan) and one for Planchet. M. de Treville on all common occasions had allowed him the liberty to do so. D'Artagnan and Planchet got into the saddle and took the road to St. Germain. As he rode along Mme. Bonacieux recurred constantly to the mind of the young man. He was ready to go to the end of the world to seek her; but, the world being round, it has many ends, so that he did not know which way to turn. In the meantime, he was going to try to find out who milady was. Milady had spoken to the man in the black cloak, therefore she knew him. Now, in the opinion of D'Arignan, it was certainly the man in the black cloak who had carried off Mme. Bonacieux the second time, as he had carried her off the first. At St. Germain he rode up a very quiet street, looking to the right and the left to see if he could catch any vestige of his beautiful English woman, when from the terrace in front of a pretty house which had no window toward the street he saw a face peep out with which he thought he was acquainted. "Eh, monsteur," said Planchet, addressing D'Artagnan, "don't you remember that face which is gaping about yonder? It is poor Lubin, the lackey of the Count de Warden, he whom you so well accommodated a month ago at Calais, on the read to the governor's country house." "Do you think he would recollect you?" Planchet discounted and went straight up to Lubin; who did not at all remember him, and the two lackeys began to chat with the best understanding possible, while D'Artagnan turned the two horses into a lane and went round the house, coming back to watch the conference from behind a hedge of nut trees. Boon, he heard the noise of a carriage and speedily saw that of milady stop opposite to him. She put her charming fair head out of the window and gave her orders to her female attendant. The latter, a pretty girl of about twenty years of age, made her way toward the terrace upon which D'Artagnan had perceived Lubin. D'Artagnan followed the girl with his eyes and saw her go toward the terrace. But it happened that some one in the house called Lubin, so that Planchet remained alone, looking in all directions for his master. The world encamped Planchet. which she book for Latin, and holding out a little billet to him— "For your master," and also, "It is of consequence—take it quietly." of consequence—take it quickly.” Thereupon she ran toward the carriage, which had turned round toward the way it came, jumped upon the step, and the carriage drove off. Planchet took the billet to D'Artagnan. He opened the letter and read these words: A person who takes more interest in you than she is willing to confess wishes to know on what day it will suit you to walk in the forest. Tomorrow, at the gate of the Old City, Gold a lackey in black and red will wait for your reply. “Oh, oh!” said D'Artagnan. “It appears that mildy and I are anxious about the health of the same person. Well, Planchet, how is the good M. de Warder, he is not dead, then?” “Oh, no, monsieur, he-is as well as a man can be with four sword wounds in his body.” "Now, Planchet jump upon your horse and let us overtake the carriage." They soon effected this. At the end of five minutes they perceived the carriage drawn up by the roadside. A cavailer, richly dressed, was close to the coach door. The conversation between milady and the cavailier was so animated that D'Artagnan stopped on the other side of the carriage without any one but the pretty unid being aware of his presence. The conversation took place in English, a language which D'Artagnan could not understand, but by the accent the young man plainly, saw that the beautiful Englishwoman was in a great rage. The cavailier broke into a loud laugh, which appeared to exasperate milady still more. At the first word military turned round, looking at the young man with astonishment, and when he had finished: "Monsieur," said she in very good French, "I should, with great confidence place myself under your protection if the person with whom I quarrel were not my brother." "Ah, excuse me, then?" said D'Artagnan, "You must be aware that I was ignorant of that, madame." "What is that stupid fellow troubling himself about?" cried the cavalier. "Stupid fellow yourself?" said D'Artagnan. The carriage went on. The cavalier made a movement as if to follow, but D'Artagnan, whose anger, already excited, was much increased by recognizing in him the Englishman of Amiens who had won his horse and was very near winning his diamond of Athos, caught at his bridle and stopped him. "Well, monsieur," said he, "we will see if you can handle a sword as skillfully as you can a dice box." "Where?" "Behind the Luxembourg at 6 o'clock." "That will do. I will be there." "Apropos you have probably one or two friends?" "Humph! I have three who would be honored by joining in the sport with me." "Three! That's fortunate. That falls out oddly. Three is just my number." "Now, then, who are you?" asked the Englishman. "I am M. d'Artagnan, a Gascon gentleman serving in the guards in the company of M. Dessasert. And you?" "I am the Lord de Winter, baron of Sheffield." Later d'Artagnan employed himself in arranging a little plan of which we shall hereafter see the execution and which promised him some agreeable adventure. The hour being come, D'Artagnan and the three guardsmen, with their four lackeyes, repaired to a spot behind the Luxembourg. The lackeyes were charged to act as sentinels. The Englishmen were all men of rank. Consequently the extraordinary names of their adversaries were for them not only a matter of surprise, but of uneasiness. "But, after all this," said Lord de Winter when the three friends had been named, "we do not know who you are. As gentlemen we cannot fight with such." "You gambled very willingly with us without knowing our real names," said Athos. "That is true, but we fight with our equals only." "And that is but just," said Athos, and he took aside that one of the four Englishmen with whom he was to fight and communicated his name in a low voice. Porthos and Aramis did the same. "You would have acted much more wisely if you had not required me to make myself known," said Athos. "Why so?" "Because I am believed to be dead and have reason for wishing nobody should know I am living, so that I shall be obliged to kill you to prevent my secret getting wind." The Englishman looked at Athos, believing that he was joking, but Athos was not joking the least in the world. "Gentlemen," said Athos, addressing at the same time his companions and their adversaries, "guard!" And immediately eight swords glittered in the rays of the setting sun. Athos fenced with as much calmness and method as if he had been practicing in a school. Porthos, corrected, no doubt, of his too great confidence by his adventure of Chantilly, played with prudence. Aramis, who had the third canto of a poem to finish, made all the dispatch of a man very much pressed for time. Athos, the first, killed his adversary. He hit him but once; but, as he had foretold, that hit was a mortal one. Porthos, the second, stretched his upon the gras with a wound through his thigh, and as the Englishman, without making say further resistance, then surrendered his sword. Porthos took him up in his arms and carried him to his carriage. Aramis punished his so vigorously that SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1912 after going back fifty paces he finished by fairly taking to his beels and dis- appeared amid the hooting of the lack- As to D'Artagnan, he fought purely and simply on the defensive, and when he saw his adversary pretty well fatigued, with a vigorous side thrust he twisted the sword from his grasp and sent it glittering into the air. "I could kill you, milord," said he to the Englishman. "You are completely at my mercy, but I spare your life for the sake of your sister." D'Artagnan was at the height of joy. He had realized the plan which he had familed, the development of which had produced amies upon his face. The Englishman, delighted at having to do with a gentleman of such a kind, disposition, pressed D'Artagnan in his arms and paid a thousand compilations to the three musketeers, and as Porthous' adversary was already installed in the carriage and as Aramis' had run away, they had nothing to think about but the defunct. He was taken away by his friend. "My young friend, if you will permit me, I hope to give you that name," said Lord de Winter; "on this very evening, if agreeable to you, I will present you to my sister, Lady Clark; for I am desirous that she should take you into her good graces, and as she is not in bad odor at court, she may perish on some future day speak a word that will not prove useless to you." D'Artagnan blushed with pleasure, and bowed a sign of assent. Louis de Winter, on quitting D'Artagnan, gave him his sister's address. She lived in No. 6 Place Royale, then the fashionable quarter, and undertook to call and take him with him in order to introduce him. D'Artagnan appointed 8 clock at Athos' residence. This introduction to Lady Clark occupied the head of our Gascon greatly. He remembered in what a strange manner that woman had hitherto been mixed up in his destiny. According to Pablo Picasso "I could kill you, millard." His completion, she was some creature of the cardinal's, and yet he felt himself invincully drawn toward her by one of those sentiments for which we cannot account. His only fear was that milady would recognize, in him the man of Meung and of Dover. Then she knew that he was one of the friends of M. de Treville, and, consequently, that he belonged body and soul to the king, which would make him lose a part of his advantage, since when known to milady as he knew her he played only an equal game with her. As to the commencement of an intrigue between her and M. de Warles our presumptuous hero gave but little heed to that, although the marquis was young, handsome, rich and high in the cardinal's favor. Milady Clarki received D'Artagan ceremoniously. Her house was remarkably sumptuous, and while the most part of the English had quilted or were about to quit France on account of the war, milady had just been laying out much money upon her residence; which proved that the general measure which drove the English from France did not affect her. "You see," said Lord de Winter, presenting D'Artagan to his slater, "a young gentleman who has spared my life. Thank him then, madame, if you have any affection for me." Milady frowned slightly, a scarcely visible cloud-passed, over her brow, and so peculiar a smile appeared upon her lips that the young man who saw and observed this triple shade almost shuddered at it. The brother did not perceive this; he had turned round to play with milady's favorite monkey, which had pulled him by the doublet. "You are welcome, moisleur," and milady in a voice whose singular sweetness contrasted with the symptoms of ill humor which D'Artagnan had just remarked. "You have today acquired eternal rights to my gratitude." Lord de-Winter went to a table upon which was a silver with Spanish wine and glasses. He filled two and by a sign D'Artagnan to drink. D'Artagnan knew it was considered disobliging by an Englishman to refuse, to pledge him, therefore drew near to the table and took the second glass. He did not, however, lose sight of milady, and in a mirror perceived the change that took place in her face. Now that she believed herself to be so longer observed, a sentiment which resembled ferocity animated her counterance. She, bit her handkerchief with all her might. That pretty little maid whom D'Artagnan had already observed then came in; she spoke some words to Lord de Winter in English, and he immediately requested D'Artagnan's permission to retire, excusing himself on account of the urgency of the business that called him away and charged his sister to obtain his pardon. D'Artagnan exchanged a shake of the hand with Lord de Winter and then returned to miliady. Her countenance, with surprising mobility, had recovered its gracious expression, but some little red spots upon her hand-kneelchef indicated that she had bitten her lips till the blood came. The conversation took a cheerful turn. Milady told D'Artagnan that Lord de Winter was her brother-in-law and not her brother; she had married a younger brother of the family who had left her a widow with one child. This child was the only heir to Lord de Winter Is-Lord de Winter did not marry. In addition to this, after half an hour's conversation, D'Artagnan was convinced that milady was his compatriot; she spoke French with an elegance and a purity that left no doubt on that head. D'Artagnan was profuse in gallant speeches and protections of devotedness. To all the simple things which escaped our Gascon, milady replied with a smile of kindness. The hour for retiring arrived, D'Artagnan took leave of solitude and left the salon the happiest of men. Upon the stairs he met Kitty, the pretty maid, who brushed against him as she passed, and then, blushing to the eyes, asked his pardon for having touched him, in a voice so sweet and with so kind an expression that the pardon was granted instantly. D'Artagnan came again on the morrow and was still-better received than on the day before. Lord do Winter was not at home. Milady asked D'Artagnan whence he came, who were his friends and whether he had not at some times thought of attaching himself to M. le Cardinal. D'Artagnan, who, as we have said, was exceedingly prudent for a young man of twenty, then remembered his suspicious regarding milady. He launched into a eulogy of his eminence and said that he should not have failed to enter into the guard of the cardinal instead of the king's guards if he had happened to know M. de Cavols instead of M. de Treville. Milady changed the conversation without any appearance of affectation and asked D'Artagnan in the most careless manner possible, if he had ever been in England. D'Artagnan replied that he had been sent thither by M. de Treville to treat for a number of horses and that he had brought back four as specimens. Milady, in the courses of her conversation (wice or three bit her tips. She had to deal with a Gascon who played close. CHAPTER XXV A Lawyer's Dinner. HOWEVER brilliant had been the part played by Porthos in the duel, it had not made him forget the dinner with the lawyer's wife. On the morrow he received the last polishing brush from the hands of Mousqueton and took his way toward the lure aux Ours, with the step of a man who was doubly in favor with fortune. He was about to see in reality a certain coffer, of which he had twenty times beheld the image in his dreams. And yet at the very door the musketeer began to entertain some doubts. The approach was not such as to prepossess people. An ill smelling, dark passage, a staircase half lighted. Porthous knocked with his finger. A tall, pale clerk, with a face shaded by a forest of unliphed hair, opened the door and bowed with the air of a man forced to respect in another lofty stature, which indicated strength, the military dress, which indicated rank, and a ruddy countenance, which indicated being accustomed to good living. Another shorter clerk behind the first, another taller clerk behind the second, another striping of twelve years old behind the third. In all three clerks and a half, which for the time argued a very extensive elicency. Although the musketeer was not expected before 1 o'clock, his mistress had been upon the watch ever since 12: reckoning that the heart, or perhaps the stomach of her lover would bring him before his time. "It is my cousin" cried she. "Come in!" The master of the house had without doubt been warned of his visit, as he expressed no surprise at the sight of Porthos, who advanced toward him with a sufficiently familiar air and saluted him courteously. "We are cousins, it appears, M. Porthos' said he, rising by supporting his weight upon the arms of his cane chair. The old man, enveloped in a large black doublet, in which the whole of his slender body was concealed, was brisk and dry. His little gray eyes shone like carbuncles and appeared, with his grinning mouth, to be the only part of his face in which life survived. Unfortunately the leg began to refuse their service to this bony machine. During the last five or six months that this weakness had been felt the worthy had nearly become the slave of his wife. The cousin was received with re- nation, that was all. Master Coq- nard, firms upon his legs, would have declised all relationship with M. For- thes. "Ye, monsieur, we are cousins," said Perthus without being disconcerted, as he had never reckoned upon being re- THE BIRTHDAY PLANET, BROOKLYN, VIRGINIA. celled enthallastically by the husband. The hour of dinner took arrived. They passed into the eating room, a large dark apartment situated opposite to the kitchen. The clerks, who, as it appeared, had smelled unusual perfumes in the house, were of military punctuality and stood with their stools in their hands, quite ready to sit down. Their jaws moved preliminarily with fearful threatenings. M. Coquenard entered, pushed along upon his chair with castors by Mme. Coquenard, whom Torthos assisted in rolling her husband up to the table. He had scarcely entered when he began to agitate his nose and his jaws after the example of his clerks. "Oh, oh!" said he. "Here is a potage which is rather inviting!" "What can they smell so extraordinary in this potage?" said Porthos at the sight of a pale bouillon, abundant, but perfectly free from meat, and upon the surface of which a few crusts swam about as wide apart as the islands of an archipelago. Master Coqueanard was served first, then Porthos; afterward Mme. Coqueanard filled her own plate and distributed the crusts without bouillon to the impatient clerks. After the potage the maid brought in a boiled fowl, a piece of magnificence which caused the eyes of the usual guests to dilate in a manner that threatened injury to them. "One may see that you love your family, Mme. Coqueanard," said her husband, with a smile that was almost tragic. "You are certainly treating your cousin very handsomely." The poor fowl was thin and covered with one of those thick bristly skins through which the teeth cannot penetrate with all their efforts. "Well," thought Porthos, "this is poor work! I respect old age, but I don't think much of it boiled or roasted." Mme. Coquenard drew the dish toward her, skillfully detached the two great black feet, which she placed upon her husband's plate: cut off the neck, which with the head she put on one side for herself; raised the wing for Porthos and then returned to the servant who had brought it in the animal, otherwise intact and which had disappeared before the muskeeteer had had time to examine the variations which disappointment produces upon faces according to the characters and temperaments of those who experience it. In the place of the fowl a dish of haricot beans made its appearance—an enormous dish, in which some bones of mutton which at first sight might have been supposed to have some meat on them, pretended to show themselves. Mme. Coquenard distributed this dish to the young men with the moderation of a good housewife. The time for taking wine was come. Master Coquenard poured from a very small stone bottle the third of a glass to each of the young men, served himself in about the same proportion and passed the bottle to Porthos and Mime. Coquenard. The young men filled up their third of a glass with water; then when they had drunk half the glass they filled it up again and continued to do so, which brought them by the end of the repast to the swallowing of a drink which, from the color of the ruby, had passed to that of a pale tonax. Porthos ate his wing of the fowl very timidly. He also drank half a glass of this sparingly served wine and found it to be nothing but that horrible Montreuil, the terror of all practiced palates. Master Coquenard saw him swallowing this wine undiluted and sighed deeply. "Will you eat any of these beans, Cousin Porthos?" said Mme. Coquenard in that tone which says, "Take my advice; don't touch them." "Thank you, my dear cousin, I have no more appetite." A general silence prevailed. Porthos was quite at a log. The procurer repeated several times: "Ah, Mme. Coquenard, accept my compliments. Your dinner has been a real feast. Lord, how I have enten!" Porthos fancied they were mystifying him and began to curl his mustache and knit his eyebrow, but the knee of Mme. Coquenard came and gently advised him to be patient. This silence and this interruption in serving, which were unintelligible to Porthos, had, on the contrary, a terrible meaning for the clerks. Upon a look from the attorney, accompanied by a smile from Mme. Coquenard, they across slowly from the table, folded their napkins more slowly still, bowed and retired. "Go, young men. Go and promote digestion by working," said their master gravely. Master Coquenard, after the luxuries of such a repast, felt the want of a slaesta. He was not satisfied till he was close to his chest, upon the edge of which, for still greater precaution, he placed his feet. His wife took Porthos into an adjoining chamber, and they began to lay the basis of reconciliation. "You can come and dine three times a week," said Mme. Coquenard. "Thanks, madame," said Porthos. "but I don't like to abuse your kindness. Besides, I must think of this equipment." "That's true," said she, groaning—"that unfortunate equipment?" "Alas, yes," said Porthos, "it is so!" "But how much, then, will the equipment of your corps cost, M. Porthos?" "Oh," said Porthos, "it does not exceed 2,500 litres. I even think that, with economy, I could manage it with 2,000 litres." "What," cried she, "2,000 lives Why, that is a fortune." Portosh made a most significant grimace. Mme. Coquenard under- stood it. "I should like to know the details, said she, "because, having many relations in business, I was almost sure of obtaining things at 100 per cent less than you could get them your- self. For instance, don't you, in the first place, want a horses?" "Yes, a horse." "Well, then, I can just suit you." "Ah," said Fortox, brightening.

But I must have the horse appointments complete, which are composed of objects that a musketeer alone can purchase and which will not amount, besides, to more than 300 livres." "Three hundred livres! Then put down 300 livres," said the procureuse, with a algh. Porthos smiled. It may be remembered that he had the saddle which came from Buckingham. The 300 livres then he reckoned upon putting anugly into his pocket. "Then," continued he, "there is a horse for my lackey and my valise. As to my arms, it is useless to trouble you about them. I have them." "A horse for your lackey?" resumed she, hesitatingly. "But that is doing things in a very noble style, my friend." "Well, madame," said Porthos haughtily, "do you take me for a beggar?" "No, no! I only thought that a pretty mule made sometimes as good an appearance as a horse, and it seemed to me that by getting a pretty mule for Monquetion"— "Well, agreed for a pretty mule," said Porthoas. "You are right. I have seen very great Spanish nobles whose whole suit were mounted on mules. Then there remains the vallse." "Oh, don't let that disturb you!" cried Mme. Coquenard. "My husband has five or six vallses. You shall choose the boat." "Ah, but the vallse, I want," cried Porthoas. "is a well filled one, my dear!" Madame uttered fresh sighs. In short, the rest of the equipment was successively debated in the same manner, and the result of the sitting was that Mme. Coquenard should give 800 lives in money and should furnish the horse and the mule which should have the honor to carry Porthos and Mouquon to glory. These conditions being agreed to, Porthos took leave of Mme. Coquenard. The latter wished to detain him by darting certain tender glances, but Porthos urged the commands of duty, and the lawyer's wife was obliged to give place to the king. The musketeer returned home as hungry as a hunter. [TO BE CONTINUED.] SARTORIAL CRUELTY. Bad Story of a Parisian Smart Bet Dame and Her Seven Gowns. They tell a story of an unfortunate Parisian society woman who, being ter- ribly pushed for a gown to wear at a great occasion and being also in debt to her dreammaker, sold seven gowns for the price of one to Mme X., who is a shrewd dealer in custoff finery. Among these gowns was one hardly rumpled and which, though very magnificent, had evidently been worn at most only once. This dress Mme X. sold as a model to Mme X., who was the society woman's dreammaker and who had been obdurate about making another thing for the poor little woman without cash down. When this "model" came the dressmaker saw a chance for a big return of money, so she compromised with her customer and agreed to let her have a new dress, just imported, for a very low figure, whereas the poor little woman paid all the money she had received for all her dresses, and out Mme. Y, brought the model, newly pressed and touched up. The poor society woman talked herself blue in the face, but she could not say anything to protect herself without betraying her dealing with Mme. X., so, poor thing, she danced in her old frock after all, having swapped all her other gowns for the privilege. He Hit Bank When the late Major General F. D.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16, 1912. Colored men must understand that Colored men must understand that it does not pay to deal in sharp prac- The best way to merit the esthetics of your neighbors is to act honorably in all matters and earn belittling methods to secure financial advantage. Gov. Woodrow Wilson, the president-elect seems to be making no mistakes. He evidently realizes that he has a monumental task before him and he is preparing to perform it. --- When colored men learn to conduct themselves so as to merit the confidence and esteem of the better class of white people, then they, will be in a position where the confidence of the colored people will surely be theirs without the asking. Colored people should cultivate the friendship of the white people in all parts of the country and especially in the Southland. This should not be done by a sacrifice of principle or by supine submission for both of these methods breed contempt. We are not of the opinion that a wholesale discharge of colored office holders will follow the induction of Gov. Woodrow Wilson into office. It will take some time to "weed out" those not under the civil service rules and those within the beneficent provisions of that department may have to more closely observe rules and regulations, but they are liable to hold on just the same. We return thanks for an invitation to the reception tendered: Grand Worthy Master Floyd Rose and Grand Worthy Secretary Maurice Rousseille at the True Reformers' Hall last Tuesday night by the members of the order in honor of their removal of their residences to this city, the former from St. Louis, Mo. and the latter from Alexandria, Va. The war between Turkey and the author is much more interesting read- ing in the newspapers, due of course to the fact that there are no war correspondents allowed at the front. They are able to describe the war scenes by imagination and give the kind of vivid descriptions of the battles that the people want. Of course, more than ninety per cent. of these recitals are pure fiction. When two leading financial institutions of the white people in Richmond, Va. come to the assistance of a colored institution with offers of one hundred thousand dollars each, or more if needed to protect it from a "run" made by colored people, it seems to us that the question as to who are the best friends of the colored people in this community has already been decided by overwhelming testimony, backed up by incontestible facts. The white institutions were the American National Bank and the First National Bank and the colored institution the Mechanics' Savings Bank A SCRIPTURAL CITATION. Col Thecolate Roosevelt announces that the battle for the principles for which he is contending will go on. We are led to wonder if he intends to continue this battle along the lines previously announced. We wish to know if he intends to draw the color line in the Southern States and eliminate the color line in the Northern ones. Can this self-stultification go on forever and can any party secure a permanent foothold in the nation with error as its chief corner stone? We would to God that our distinguished fellow citizen and celebrated leader would leave alone that part of the Bible which refers to Arma-sodden and turn his attention to Acts X. In this chapter, there is this declaration on the part of Peter. "Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation, but (God hath showed me that I should not call any) man common or unclean." It seems to us strange that in all of his divine revelations as handed down with reference to Armageddon, Col. Roosevelt should have so originally failed in taking note of those sections and paragraphs in the other part of the Scriptures. EXPERIENCE MEETING How to Play an Amusing Game on Thanksgiving Day. For a group of people of forty years or over a reminiscence party is frequently made very enjoyable. To get the fun into swing it is only necessary to pass around the room a basket containing folded slips of paper on which such questions as these given below are written: What was the occasion of the joilest time you ever had? What was the most thrilling adventure you ever had? Who is or was the most interesting person you ever met? What is the best true story you ever heard? What is the least explable occurrence you ever heard of or experienced? What was the happiest hour of your life? What was the greatest pleasure of your childhood? Each guest draws one of the folded alips. Ten minutes is allowed for reflection, during which all players think up the answer to their questions. The person drawing the alips marked 1 then gives his experience. When this has been laughed over or otherwise enjoyed the person holding the slip marked 2 then relates, and so on. It makes a most enjoyable little pastime and will lead to many exchanges of pleasant reminiscences. The hostess will, of course, avoid any question which could evoke unpleasant or sorrowful memories.

Set this crock near shelf, contain or other jars which may afford the small mauraders a foothold opportunity and sprinkle the parchment near the cut with bits of cheese or bacon.

The Rayne farm house, situated about one mile from Powellsville, Md., a small village in the eastern part of Wichomie county, was the scene of a murder on Friday, when some one entered the building and crushed in the skull of Mrs. Laura Rayne, the lone occupant of the house, and then, in the hope of hiding the crime, fire to the dwelling. Jennamin T. Davis, a resident of Powellsville, has been arrested and charged with the crime. About five o'clock in the morning smoke was seen pouring from the windows of the Rayne home by neighbors, and upon reaching the house they found a pile of wood in the center of the kitchen, which had been saturated with kerosene and then ignited. Near the burning mass was the form of Mrs. Rayne, apparently dead, with the top of her skull crushed in. When the neighbors attempted to move the body they found Mrs. Rayne was still alive and she managed to say "Don't" Medical aid was quickly summoned, but when Dr. Lawrence Freyn, of Pittsville, arrived he pronounced her dead. A short time prior to the discovery of the smoke coming from the Rayne house, Davis, who is now under arrest, was seen coming from the direction of the Rayne home with a gun under his arm. Suspicion quickly pointed to him. It was alleged that he caused the separation of Mrs. Rayne and her husband some months ago, and has since been a frequent visitor at the house. Warrants were sworn out for his arrest. After some searching by Sheriff Smith, Davis was discovered at Willard, a small town about six miles from the scene of the murder. He was arrested, and on being arraigned he pleaded not guilty. He was held under $200 bail for court. Mrs Rayne, the murdered woman, was about forty years old, and had been married twice. About six years ago she married Lemuel Rayne, a prosperous farmer, with whom she lived until two months ago, when the couple separated. Her first husband was Noah Clark, of Worcester county. Davis is a widower and has been engaged in the mercantile business near Powellville. About two years ago he was arrested and convicted of illicit selling of liquor and sentenced to six months in the Maryland penitentiary. Leaves $1,000,000 to Charity LEAVES $1,000,000 to Charity.

Corn Crop Breaks Record 1. A corn crop paid to amount to 3,169,137,000 bushels, or 281,921,000 bushels; more than the greatest crop of corn ever grown in any country of the world, is the feature of the country's most remarkable agricultural year in history, according to the November report of the United States department of agriculture. This great crop of corn was worth on Nov. 1 to farmers $1,830,776,000. The mere yield was 21.3 and quality 101.1. 2. The enormous corn of $4,171,124,000 represented the farm value on Nov. 1 of the United States crops of corn, hay, wheat, or a potatoe, barley, flaxseed, rye and oatwheat. With the value of the growing cotton crop and the crops of tobacco, rice and apples, the aggregate value of these principal farm products will amount to well beyond $5,000,006,000. Upon the preliminary estimate of production and prices announced, the value of the crops figure out as follows: Corn, $1,159,778,000; hay, $554,15,000; wheat, $603,038,000; oats, $476,169,000; potatoes, $128,501,000; Barley, $129,848,000; Mansood, $25,692,000; rye. $24,770,000; buckwheat, $12,286,000. Record crops of corn, potatoes, Saxedo, cats, barley, rye and hay were harvested this year. The government's official estimates of the value of the various crops and its final estimates of total production will be announced in December. Fear Lynching; Rush Men to Jail. Women living in the vicinity of Kennett Square, Chester county, Pa. are considerably relieved because of the capture of three colored men, Thomas Matthews, John Crone and William Asbury, who are accused of having broken into the house of Alban Dilworth two weeks ago and attacking his daughter, fifty years old. Matthews is alleged to have confessed. The attack was so brutal and the fire of the residents were stirred to such a pitch that the authorities quietly arrested the men and had them in the West Chester prison before letting the public know of the capture, for they feared a lynching might be attempted. On Halloween'en, at about midnight, trifle masked men went to the house of Dilworth in a excluded spot near Rosedale. Dilworth is eighty-seven years old and his wife is more than eighty. They knocked on the door and asked that Miss Emma Dilworth come downstairs, as her sister wished to see her. The family suspected something amiss and Miss Dilworth decided not to go to the door. The men were entraged and stoned the house, shattering nearly every window. Then they broke in the door, went to the room of Miss Dillworth and pulled her out. The three occupants of the house fought the intruders and the daughter broke away, only to be seized again and dragged out to the barn, where she was terribly beaten and abused and left almost dead. In the scuffle she was shot in the head over the eye and may lose her eyesight. Mrs. Theodore Woodward, a sister, found her in the barn the next morning. Burns Roosevelt Picture. An exclusive social and Republican organization in Meriden, Conn., the Home club, is in a chaotic state as the result of the action of some of the dyes in the wool Republican members, who destroyed the photograph of ex-President Roosevelt, which was presented by him to the club with his autograph, when he was president. When the election of Wilson was indicated late Tuesday night the picture was taken from a prominent place on the wall of the clubroom by one member and thrown to the floor. Another member thrust his foot through the canvas, and then it was taken to the lawn in front of the club building and burned. --- Andrew Carnegie will pay no personal property tax to the city of New York.

Griscom, chairman of the board of directors of the international Mercantile Marine company, a director of the Pennsylvania Railroad company and widely identified with big financial interests, died at his home in Haverford, near Philadelphia. He was seventy-one years old. The death came as a great surprise to every one outside the immediate family. Mr. Griscom had been ill for only two weeks. Congestion of the brain caused death. Mr. Griscom was at times a director of the United States Steel Corporation, the William Cramp Ship and Engine Building company, the Electric Boat company, the Electric Company of America, the Fidelity Trust company, the Bank of North America, the Commercial Trust company, the Fourth Street National bank, the Mercantile Trust company, the Long Island and railroad, the National Transit company, the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk railroad, the United Gas Improvement company, the Western Savings Fund society and a trustee of the Atlantic Mutual Insurance company. Held Prisoners Veare Illegally. Discovery has been made of the plight of four penitentiary prisoners in Columbus, Ohio, who, because they were insane and were transferred from the state prison to the hospital, have been unlawfully held for years. John H. Whafer, sent to the penitentiary in 1874, has been confined for thirty-three years after his term expired. L. B. Chidester, a forger, received in 1878; should have been released in 1884. Jerry Cartt, sentenced for arson, has been detained twenty-four years. Charles Willis should have been released twenty-seven years ago. The prisoners will be transferred immediately to their respective counties to be probated. Their plight was discovered when the state hospital authorities submitted a bill for their keep. Thankfully Proclamation President Taft issued the time-honored Thanksgiving proclamation calling on the nation to render thanks for past blessings and setting aside Nov. 28 for the observance. Washington, Nov. 8.—President Taft issued the time-honored Thanksgiving proclamation calling on the nation to render thanks for past blessings and setting aside Nov. 28 for the observance. The president departed from the usual text to write in a little paragraph, which might refer to the election, and which specified how strong and steadfast the people were in the "conservation of the heritage of self-government bequeathed to us by the wisdom of our fathers and their firm resolve to transmit that heritage unimpaired." Ban on Christmas Trees. The department of agriculture has placed an embargo upon the interstate shipments of Christmas trees from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, because of the gypsy and brown-tail moths. The quarantine becomes effective Nov. 26 and also affects the shipment of decorative plants, such as holly and laurel, known as "Christmas green or greenery." Only in cases where the plants and plant products have been inspected and pronounced to be free from these two insects by the department's inspectors will they be permitted to enter interstate commerce. 25 Die In Religious Bliss. Twenty-five persons were killed and many others were wounded in religious rites at Lerria, in Intermudura province, Portugal. The rioting followed a clash between Liberals, and Clerical. Troops were rushed to the scene and the city has been plumed under martial law. PLEADS GUILTY TO SHOOTING T.R. Says He Thought Roosevelt a Menace to Country. TO PROBE HIS SANITY Would-Be Assassin Talks About Killing Men Who Want to Keep Office. John Schrank pleaded guilty in Milwaukee, Wis., to attempting to murder Theodore Roosevelt. In his plea Schrank sought to distinguish between an attack on Roosevelt as a "menace" and an attack on Roosevelt as a citizen. Judge A. C. Backus announced on reading a petition of Winfred C. Zabell, the district attorney, that he would name a commission to examine Schrank as to his mental condition. Fewer than 150 persons listened to the proceedings and watched the small, compact form of Schrank as he stepped slowly to the bar and entered his plea. Of this number, twenty detectives and half a score of deputy sheriffs, kept unnecessary, but vigilant, watch on all persons in the room not known to them. The district attorney read the complaint in which Schrank was accused of having made an attack upon the person of "one Theodore Roosevelt, with a deadly weapon and with intent then and there to kill and slay the said Theodore Roosevelt." "How do you plead to this charge?" the prosecutor asked Schrank, standing at his elbow. "Why, guilty, Mr. Zabel," replied the prisoner, in a confused way, as though he was not following the proper procedure. "You have heard the complaint," interposed Judge Backus in a loud voice. "You understand that in it you are charged with having attempted to murder Theodore Roosevelt. Do you plead guilty or not guilty?" "I did not mean to kill a citizen, Judge," began Schrank, and the crowd in the court room gave first audible evidence of its interest in the case. "I shot Theodore Roosevelt because he was a menace to the country. He should not have a third term. It is bad that a man should have a third term. I did not want him to have one. I shot him as a warning that men must not try to have more than two terms as president. "I shot Theodore Roosevelt to kill him. I think all men trying to keep themselves in office should be killed; they become dangerous. I did not do it because he was a candidate of the Progressive party, either, gentlemen." "All right," interrupted the court, taking from the district attorney the plea for a sanity commission for the defendant. He read it hastily while the presocutor explained its purport. "The man is inane," said the district attorney. "It would be wrong to sentence him for a crime if he was mentally unsound, just because he was willing to plead guilty." "I will name a commission," announced the court. "Let no one leave the court room until the defendant Schrank is outside of the city hall." Schrank went back to fall with his guardsmen. Judge. Hackus then appointed on the commission Dr. F. C. Studley, the superintendent of a sanitarium; Dr. William F. Becker, the former head of the Northern Hospital for the Innaane at Winnebago, Wls.; Dr. D. W. Harrington, a nerve specialist, and Dr. Richard Dewey, all of Milwaukee. The court appointed Joseph Flanders, of Milwaukee, an attorney, to represent Schrank in the sanity hearing. Schrank, in jail, appeared little concerned in the fact that his liberty for possibly the next fifteen years was in leopardy. MASKED MAN BEATS WOMAN Burglar Falls Her With Chair When Discovered In House. Awakened by a noise in a room adjoining, Mrs. Minor Smith, of North Berwick, Pa., who was alone in the house with her baby, entered the dimly-lighted room to investigate. She was horrified to see a man, with a black mask over his face, leap toward her. He grazed a chair and felled her to the floor, unconscious. Jumping through the window, breaking the sash as he went, the burglar escaped. The continued screams of the baby brought neighbors to the scene, with the husband, employed at night at a steel plant, leading the posse. Killa Baby For Revenge. To take revenge on his wife, with whom he had quarreled, Charles Rose, of Chicago, killed his two-year-old daughter. The child was amothered to death.

Y., while the police are scouring the country for the inhuman brute who held the boy in the rear room of a store Saturday afternoon while a bulldog chowed and mangled his limbs. Several men, so the lad says, stood by laughing at the brutal performance. After the dog had chewed at the legs of the Helpless boy he was released and chased from the store. Young Holmes limped to his home, where the wounds, were cauterized. Saturday afternoon the boy began throwing stones, and by accident one shattered the window of the Marine Supply store. A moment later a man issued from the door, grabbed young Holmes and dragged him into the store, where a bulldog lay. The police say that the manager of the store admits that a bulldog is kept on the premises, but denies that the man who dragged the boy into the store is in the firm's employ. TO PROTECT AMERICANS Great Britain and Russia Have Already Undertaken That Task. The European powers most intimately concerned in the Balkan situation have undertaken to extend protection to Americans in Turkey. The American embassies in Europe were instructed when informing the various nations of the decision of the United States to send the cruisers Tennessee and Montana to Asiatic Turkey, to inquire whether provision had been made or was contemplated by them in the interest of American citizens in Turkey. Replies indicate that instructions issued by Great Britain and Russia anticipated the desires of the American government. The cutter Unalga was ordered to remain at Port Said, Egypt, for orders from Ambassador Rockhill at Constantinople. LORIMER VERY ILL Former Senator to Be Operated on For Appendicitis. William Lorimer, who recently was ousted from the United States senate, is seriously ill with appendicitis in Chicago. After a consultation of physicians an immediate operation was decided upon and preparations were made to take Mr. Lorimer to the Presbyterian hospital. He has been ill since Sunday. Lorimer's illness is said to have resulted indirectly from an automobile accident in which he was slightly injured shortly after leaving Washington several months ago. It was said that he was in a weakened physical condition due to overwork and the strain of his trial which resulted in his being ousted from the United States senate. Starved Baby to Death. Guilty of second degree manslaughter, after being tried on a charge of neglecting her infant son until he died of starvation when a year old, was the verdict brought by the jury against Henrietta Tyson, twentyone years old, in the Nassau county court in Minsola, N. Y. The girl's grandfather was the state's chief witness, testifying that his granddaughter, in neglecting her child, attended moving picture shows. How to Fasten Buttons When sewing on buttons place a pin across the top of the button and sew over it. Then when enough stitches have been taken the pin may be removed and the button drawn a little away from the cloth and the thread wrapped several times around the stem thus formed. Properly fastened, these buttons ought to stay on as long as the garment lasts. How to Keep Juices in Pies. To keep juices from running out of berry pin place in the center two or three sticks of macaroni standing upright. The juices bubbles harmlessly up in these tubes instead of running over the oven.

Pound thoroughly or run, through a colander. Add the liver of the turkey, which has been boiled and minced fine, a tablespoonful minced ham or sausage meat, half a cupful dry bread crumbs, a tablespoonful minced onion, a tablespoonful of minced celery, the juice of a lemon, a tablespoonful softened butter and an egg to bind. Cheatnut Sauce. After the turkey has been taken up and laid on its hot platter remove the extra fat from the top of the drippings remaining in the pan and stir two tablespoonfuls of flour into what is left. There should be two or three tablespoonfuls of the rich drippings. If more than that, let it boil down before adding the flour. Cook until frothy and scrape the glaze down from the sides of the pan. Pour in two cupfuls boiling water, stir until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper, and two cupfuls of the cheesnut, shelled, blanched, cooked and unashed, together with a tablespoonful of tomato ketchup or chili sauce. Pour into the sauce beet and serve with the turkey. Spanish Stuffing. Chop fine a quarter pound fat salt pork and mix with it a plot of broad crumbs. Add a cupful strained tomato, a tablespoonful of sugar, two tablespoonful minced onion and one of parsley, a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of pepper. After this is thoroughly incorporated work into it a pound of sausage meat. Mincemeat Without Heat. A very good minced meat is made by simply omitting the meat from any good recipe and substituting extract of beef dissolved in water. Allow one small jar of extract to four quarta chopped apples. CARE OF AUTO CLUTCH. How, to Oil Leather Faced Type Quickly and Effectively. Automobiles that have the leather faced type clutch should be inspected once a month and the leather given an application of nectafoot or caster oil. Apply the oil by placing the clutch in the "released" position and then spreading the oil over the surface of the leather, being careful not to use so much that it will not be absorbed by the leather. It is preferable to do this at such a time that the car can stand overnight and thus give the oil time to penetrate. When the clutch alps it is usually due to an excess of lubricating oil on the leather. Fuller's earth or talcum powder fitted in upon the face of the leather will usually overcoine the difficulty. In an emergency the oil may be removed with gasoline, but care should be taken to apply neatsoft oil as soon as possible, because the gasoline absorbs the natural oil of the leather and leaves it very dry and harsh. It may sometimes be found necessary to increase the tension of the clutch spring to overcome slipping, but this is very seldom the case. When the leather is dry and hard the clutch will take hold harshly. Several applications of moistfoot oil may be necessary to overcome this, especially if it has been neglected for some time. WINTER UNDERWEAR HOW TO MAKE IT LAST. A crochet needle is a good thing to mend knit underwear with. To do this place the worn portion in an embroidery frame, then with thread to suit the mesh of the garment, wool, silk or cotton pick up the ends of the stitches where they are broken off and unite them, working back and forth until the holes are filled in evenly and smoothly. Perhaps the neck of the underwear has stretched in the washing until it is all out of shape. In that case run a drawing around the neck, wet it, and draw it into place; then when it is dry it will be the proper size. You may then crochet a neat bonding in place of the one which has worn away. And if the buttonholes have worn out rip off the old facing in the front and stitch on in its place a new strip of steen. Sew the old holes together as closely as you can to their original size and shape; then catch them down to the satten and cut that to fit; then work the hole you would if it were a new one. new to Best Timed Nerves When the body is tired and the nerves taxed to the limit a good salt rub will do wonders. Have the tub half filled with warm water, take a handful of sea salt, dip it in the bath and rub the body from chin to toes. Use as much salt as you require, but rub gently first. After a few washes the skin will become accustomed to the rough salt Rinse off with the salt bath and drive with a Turkish towel and lie down for half an hour. How to Mend Lace Curtains. It is very hard to mend a hole in laccurains or the lace in underskirts. Very good way to accomplish the task is to take a piece of the lace while you are bruising, stick it on the article with raw starch and press hard. When dry the patch cannot be seen. To Remove Ink Stains. To remove india ink or indelible pencil status from the hands appl) wood or grain alcohol) with a soft brush or cloth and then wash the hands in warm soappads. How to Brush Beaver Hata. One should brush a black beaver hat with a soft brush. After being caught in a rainforest, however, a beaver hat should not be brushed until it drins. If the bulk of your family party is to be young children, do not be overruled by tradition in ordering the muffin. A grooming board may be historic, but it will breed grooming youngsters and shows little sense. Do not stuff your children with pies, doughnuts, oyster rolls, pickles and rich sweets, even though your mother and grandmother always had them for Thanksgiving. Have a simple corn soup. Instead of the rich black bean sort, and no fish, or, if you will not omit this course, do not have heavy salmon or lobster. Let the turkey be the main dish of the meat and see that the children's portion is not too large. There is no more indigestible meat than turkey, especially to the young. Mashed potatoes, one other vegetable and cranberries are enough with the "national bird." If you have a salad let it be a crisp lettuce, garnished with cream cheese balls and barley due. Vanilla ice cream, with hot chocolate or orange sauce, is quite as palatable as very rich nesslede puddings and other fancy lees. At the close of the dinner let the children take a short run on the porch or pavement if they are to stay for the rest of the evening. This takes away their stuffy feeling and keeps them from getting so fretted. THE STOUT WOMAN. How to Successfully Cure an Unbe- coming Double Chin. To begin with, sumear the back of your fingers with cold cream. Then place your finger tips together under your chin, and with a quick move- ment draw them apart up to the base of your ears, all the time, of course, pressing the flesh firmly, though gently. Repeat about fifteen to twenty times. Next, with the side of your first finger, massage from the point of your chin downward toward the base of your neck. These two massage movements, if practiced regularly, will be found sufficient, along with the follow- ing exercises, to take away the dis- figurement in time. The first exercise is quite simple. Just bend your head backward slowly as far as it will go. Then, with a quick movement, bring it back till your chin nearly touches your chest. Repeat this six or eight times, and, if possible, before an open window. The second exercise is also very simple. Turn your head from side to side at the same time raising and dropping your chin slightly. If you watch a Chinese unmarmir figure with a "shaking" head, you will see exactly how the above exercise ought to be performed. An excellent preparation to use for the massage is one ounce of cold cream mixed with a teaspoonful of barbecue powder. Another recipe is: One dram of white beeswax, ten drains of cornmeat and ten drains of almond oil. These ingredients should be mixed together on a gentle heat and beaten till they become of a creamy consistency. How to Hang Curtain "Women do not realize the danger to themselves in trying to hang curtains on poles beyond their reach." asserts a well known physician. "Every autumn I have several cases of more or less severe internal displacements, resulting from the overhead reaching." If women en would take the trouble to mount stepladders when hanging curtains putting up pictures or cleaning chandeliers no harm would befall, but women have a constitutional dislike for stepladders; they prefer to climb on tallies, piano stools and bureau to reach high places, and there is always just the one final reach for the fixture that is just out of tiptoe reach. It is the one final reach that usually does the mischief, and years of ill health or suffering have resulted from overhead reaching during the fall moving or setting to right. How to Cook Plan. Keep lengths of old cotton cloth or cheesecloth in the kitchen pantry to use when baking fish. Grease the pan, then lay in a piece of cloth, letting the ends of the cloth extend over the sides of the pan. Lay the fish on this cloth. When the baking is done the fish may be taken out and slipped on to the platter without danger of breaking the fish and so spoiling the looks of it when served.

In many cases a brush will not be needed, but a soft flamed cloth can be used in its place. As soon as the water in the pall becomes dark and closely empty it and fill with some of the fresh bran water on the stove, which should be kept boiling hot. How to Dress Up Footwear.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16, 1912 CONGRESS IS DEMOCRATIC Wilson's Followers Will Control Both Branches. Ex-Bspeaker Joseph Cannon Loses His Beat In Lower House, and Norris Dixon, Bourne and Kenyon, Progressives, Are Retired From Senate. Washington, Nov. 6--The new congress will be Democratic in both its branches. The senate will probably stand 52 Democrats and 44 Republicans and the house 252 Democrats, 129 Republicans and 14 Progressives. "Uncle Joe" Cannon is among the defeated, but Colonel Roosevelt's son-in-law, Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, slipped to by a narrow margin, as did also Sereno E. Payne, of New York, at present chairman of the minority in the house, and John Weeks of Massachusetts. The democratic gain in Massachusetts was not anywhere nearly as great as the enthusiastic Bay State leaders imagined. In Ohio the indianations are that the Republicans will have only two or three congressmen, while in the present house they have five. There will be eighteen Republican congressmen from New York as against fourteen in the present house. In the senate the Progressive leaders were smitten hip and thigh. George W. Norris and Joseph M. Dixon, the national Progressive chairman, are surely defeated, as are probably Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, and William S. Kenton, of Ohio Governor Stubbs, of Kansas will probably fall on the election. In the Senate the Democratic gains are as follows. One in Colorado, where Senator Guggenheim retires; one in Iowa, where Senator Kenyon retires; one in Montana, where Senator Dixon goes out, one in Nebraska to take the place of Senator Norris Brown, one in New Jersey to take the place of Senator Briggs, and probably one in Nevada, taking the place of Senator Mansry. In Massachusetts it is expected that on point ballot for United States senator the legislature will be very close. Of thirty candidates for the house of representatives so far known to be elected, 32 are Republicans, 27 are Democrats, 2 are Progressives and 1 is a Socialist. This is a gain for the Democrat, and there is a possibility that the Progressives may hold the balance of power. The terms of thirty-one United States senators will expire on March 4, 1933. In addition to most of these four seats now vacant were involved in the elections Fourteen were Democrats and twenty-one Republicans. The Democrats whose present term expire next March are A. O. Bacon, of Georgia, Joseph W. Bates, of Texas, John H. Bunkhead, of Alabama, Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, M. J. Foster, of Louisiana, O. Ondahl, Gardner, of Maine, Thomas F. Martin, of Virginia, Robert F. Owen, of Oklahoma, Thomas H. Papier, of Kentucky, Leroy Perry, of Mississippi, F. M. Simmons, of North Carolina; Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, and Clarence W. Watson, of West Virginia. The Republicans whose terms end next March are: William E. Horah, of Iaho, Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Oregon, Frank O. Briggs, of New Jersey, Norris Brown, of Nebraska, Henry E. Burnham, of New Hampshire, W. Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois; Charles Curtis, of Kansas; Joseph M. Dixon, of Montana; Robert J. Gamble, of South Dakota; Simon Guzpe, of Colorado; William S. Kenyon, of Ohio; Knute Nelson, of Minnesota; Harry A. Richardson, of Delaware; William Alden Smith, of Michigan, Frank E. Warren, of Wyoming, George P. Hammore, of Rhode Island, and Albert H. Fall of New Mexico. The three vacancies in the present senate which were filled at the election were caused by the deaths of William L. Hughes, Democrat, of Colorado, and William B. Heyburn, Republican, of Idaho, and the ousting of William Lorimer, of Illinois. Several of the senators whose terms will expire next March already have been re-elected by the state legislatures and were not therefore involved in the balloting. Several faces that have been familiar to visitors in the senate galleries for many years will be missing after March 4 next, among them being Senator Bailey, of Texas. Nebraska in Democratic Column. Lincoln, Neb. Nov. 6. Wilson has carried the state by upwards of 15,000. Stephens, Democrat, has been re- lected to congress in the Third disti- tion. Stevens, Republican, is probably elected in the Ninth. Wilson carries Leonardson, Bryna's home county. The race between Norris, Republican, and Shannonberg, Democrat, for United States senator is close. Thought He Had 'Em a New Way. Digby Roll is a dear old soul. He's full of sunshine and good works and a form of morbid indigestion. Every now and then Digby echoes like a sea shell. His host conversation will be interrupted by an old mooing sound which comes from the neighborhood of his breakfast. The other day Digby discovered in front of the Lamb's bar a friend who has been drunk for seven or eight years. S "Tom," said Digby, placing one hand in remembrance strance on his Tom looked at Digby in some apprehension. He didn't mind what Digby said. It was that unclassified sound in the midst of Digby's buttons that alarmed him and made him feel that if he wasn't seeing things maybe he was beginning to hear things. "You--whirrrr--are not--goop, goo-wallop, treating your family right, Tom," continued Mr. Bell. "Gurrrrr." Tom threw of Mr. Bell's hand and moved away.

One morning as her husband was sitting down to the breakfast table he glanced at the dining room clock and said, "We must be later than usual this morning." A man is sitting at a table with two other men. One man is pointing at the other man. "Don't place too much confidence in that clock. It stopped at 5 o'clock this morning, and I just set it going by guess," replied the good wife. "Were you up at 5 o'clock?" asked the husband. "If not, come in." the husband. "SET IT GOING BY" "Of course not." OLLEY "What time did you say the clock stopped?" "At 5." "If you weren't up at 5," replied the man with a puzzled look, "how in thunder do you know when the clock stopped?" "Why, dear, it stayed stopped," was the reply. The man did not say an other word that morning. He Laughed Last. A certain lady who wished to have some fun at the expense of an agent who had oftimes solicited her to insure herself and family, asked him on one occasion if he would insure the cat. The agent, to the astonishment and no small amusement of those present, promptly offered to do so, provided she paid the first premium dwn. The lady, still thinking to honn him, expressed her willingness to do so, and placed a quarter on the table. The agent quickly produced a proposal, filled it in and obtained her signature while those present were on the tiptoe of expectancy as to what was to follow. "Now, madam, with your permission, may I see the cat?" "Certainly," she replied, at the same time pointing to a glass case which contained the stuffed remains of the poor defunct cat. A chorus of defensive laughter burst from all present, but to their dismay the agent turned, bowed politely, at the same time picking up the quarter, and exclaimed: "When that cat dies, madam, kindly call at our office and claim the insurance money. Good morning." Somewhat Doubtful A candidate for sheriff was going around among the voters soliciting their votes. He had a little book, with him in which he entered the names of the voters he interviewed and their politics. He came to one blunt, heavy jawed and big pisted man who evidently did not like him. "Well, Mr. Jones," said the candidate, "I suppose that I can count on your support at the election?" "Naw; you can't count on my support," said Jones. "I'd rather take poison than vote for a son of a gun like you." "From the way you talk," said the candidate, as he pulled out his book, "I reckon mebby I had better put you down as somewhat doubtful."—Kansas City Star. Delaware Goes to Wilson Column.

In the closing days of the first session of the Fifty-seventh congress Uncle Joe Cannon, then chairman of the appropriations committee, had vigorously attacked some provisions of the naval appropriation bill that had been inserted by the senate. Fliply he secured a vote in the house, instructing the conferences of the house not to recede on their disagreement to one particularly obnoxious provision. The matter was debated in conference for about three weeks. Finally the house conferences yielded in a minor particular to the senate and reported an agreement to the house. When this agreement was read and Mr. Cannon learned that the position of the house had been altered by the conferences he took the floor and in scathing language denounced the conferences for having, as he said, "betrayed the house." A vote was taken, and Mr. Cannou's position was sustained. Thereupon the speaker, Mr. Henderson, took the measure out of the hands of the member of the committee on naval affairs and appointed a new conference committee, consulting of Mr. Cannon (Uncle Joe), Mr. Moody of Massachusetts and Mr. Shaffroth. The following morning these conferences met the senate conferees, and after a statutory session of several hours' duration they found that they, too, would have to yield to the senate conferees in minor particular. They then reported an agreement to the house. As soon as it had been read the late Amon J. Cummings, who had been one of the original conferences, arose at his seat, and taking almost the exact words of Mr. Cannon—uttered the evening before—he told the members how they had been "betrayed" by their new conferences. Then, turning to Mr. Cannon, he said with withering acorn: "For three weeks the former conferences of the house fought the senate conference inch by inch. It was only when the members of this house began to appeal to us to reach an agreement in order that they might get away from the heat of Washington's summer that we finally yielded in a trifling matter." Then, shaking his finger at Mr. Cannon, who stood across the aisle from him, and raising his voice to a high pitch, he thundered: "But, sir, what did you do? You fell at the first shot; you dropped in the first ditch. Sir, you're misnamed. You're no cannon; you're a toy pistol." Everybody roared with laughter. The house promptly turned down the Cannon report and adopted the one that had been reflected the night before. Within three hours thereafter the session had adjourned sims die.—New York Sun. Justifiable ignorance. While crossing a city street a farger was knocked down by an automobile. Before he could get out of the way he was knocked down again by a motorcycle which came rushing along to behind. A friend of his on the sidewalk yelled to him, "Why didn't you get out of the way?" "How in the dickens did I know it had a colt?" was the angry response. Everybody's. Entirely Different. It was early morning in the quiet English village, and old Mr. Bell was industriously plying his hammer on a wooden contrivance under the kitchen window in the back yard when a neighbor called toquire' after his wife, who had not been well for some time. The old chap's reply, however, was RCB "I MORE THAT'ER COOGHIN'" drowned by some one in the house coughing very loudly. "Poor dear! I please that's 'er cough, in', ain't it?" eroded the sympathetic neighbor. "Na, na, na man," replied the aged toller, surveying his handwork proudly; "it 'aint a coffin. It's a 'en coop." ·Motto For a Station Vice President Sherman and a senator from Alabama were in front of the new Union station, within a stone's throw of the capital. "Why," the senator asked, looking at the inscriptions cut into the granite. "Do they have quotations from the Bible on the front walls of this station?"

To the west of the great Court of Honor at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition will come the Court of Four Seasons, one of the most elaborate and beautiful of the great interior courts that will lie between the huge exhibit palaces of the main group. The walls of the court will be partly formed by the palaces of Liberal Arts and of Education and by the two great wings of the Palace of Agriculture and partly by the classic colonnades and peristyles that will connect these buildings. The Court of Four Seasons, in classic Italian architecture, is designed by Mr. Henry Bacon of New York, designer of the Lincoln Memorial. In harmony with the title of the court there will, in each of its four corners, be set groups of statuary symbolical of the seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The sculpture will be set in niches screened by colonnades. Mural paintings, also suggestive of the seasons, will form the background for the setting. Mr. Jules Guerin, the noted artist, has charge of the color plan. The Court of Four Seasons will be 340 feet square. ```markdown ``` SERVICE BUILDING, FIRST STRUCTURE TO BE ERECTED BY THE PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION. BIDS have been let for the Service Building, the first structure to be erected upon the Panama-Pacific International Exposition site.

HOW TAFT HEARD THE NEWS Had Private Wires in Brother's Home in Cincinnati. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 6. — President Taft received the news of his defeat at the home of his brother, Charles P. Taft, on Pike street. A telegraph office was set apart in one of the rooms of the mansion, and as soon as the wires were opened bulletins telling of Governor Wilton's election and the Democratic landslide began pouring over the wires in rapid succession. Among the first bulletins was a report from Acushnet, Mass., showing that the president had carried that town, but by a considerably reduced majority over the figures of four years ago. A few minutes later came information that Wilson had carried New York and Massachusetts by large majorities. Next the announcement of State Chairman Barnes, of New York, congratulated New York to Governor Wilson tickered over the wires. After reading these bulletins Mr. Taft was practically convinced of the election of Governor Wilson to the presidency. With the president were his brother, Charles P. Taft and Mrs Charles P. Taft, Miss Louise Taft, Major Thomas L. Rhoades, the president's military side, and several personal friends. NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATIC Glives Wilson. About 60,000 Plurality Roosevelt: Running, Second Roosevelt Hunning Second. Trenton, N.J., Nov. 6-Returns from New Jersey, with many of the counties reported by a few voting divisions indicate that the home state, of the presi- dential elect has stood by him mos. loyal. From the returns a plurality of some- thing like 63,000 is indicated, with Roosevelt running second and Taft far behind. In Hudson county, of the Wilson strongholds, several thousand voters were unable to vote, a cause of a misapprehension of the citation law, but the county news has given the governor fully Gloucestershire. The Democrat seem to have carried 11 of the 12 congressional districts, and John J. Gardiner, in the Second, is probably beaten by J. T. Thompson Baker by 2500. In the First William J. Browning appears to have won, but there is doubt as to the election, with Colonel D. Stewart Crave Democrat, and Frank B. Jess, Roosevelt Progressive, running close. Camden county appears to have given Browning a plurality of but 1000, while Salem county has given Craven a large plurality and Gloucester is a stand-off. Congressman Thomas J. Scully, Democrat, appears to be re-elected by a safe plurality in the Third, and Allen B. Walsh, the Democratic candidate, in the Fourth. The Democrat appear to have won four of their six candidates for the senate, giving them a majority of one in that body, with the seven hold-over the superseeded.

Wilton Lackaye, the actor, once made a dramatization of "Les Miserables." He had spent much time on his work. The drainatization of the Huko masterpiece had been one of the dreams of his early youth. Truly, the completed drama was to the actor as a child he dearly loved. But when Mr. Lackaye tried to interest the theatrical capital in the production he found dearth of enthusiasm. Every one knew that Lackaye had dramatized "Les Miserables," and it was one of the live topics of Broadway. Oscar Hammerstein met Lackaye in this particular period, and his first question was: "Wilton, have you got a manager to produce 'Lee Miserables?' " And to this Lacknye sarcastically replied: "A manager, to produce it! I haven't found a manager that can pronounce it"—Kansas City Star. Nothing on earth is so relatable as a glamour film.

He says he takes this attitude because "William J. Bryan manipulated Champ Clark out of the nomination." A Speedy Recovery On one of the visits of the American fleet to English waters Admiral Erben was in command, with Captain Alfred T. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs, as his flag captain. One morning Captain Mahan came to his admiral with an invitation to dine with a duke which he had received. "I can't accept," said Captain Mahan, "us they forgot to invite you." "I should say you couldn't," growled the admiral. "I'll answer for you." Whereupon the admiral wrote: "Admiral Erben, United States navy, regrets that Captain Mahan, his flag captain, cannot accept the invitation of the Duke of Blank. Captain Mahan is on the sick list." An hour or so later a messenger from the duke returned with invitations for the admiral and the captain, whereupon the admiral wrote again: "Admiral Erben accepts with pleasure the invitation for Captain Mahan and himself. He wishes also to advise the Duke of Blank that he has taken Captain Mahan off the sick list." Result of the Chase John Burroughs is well known as one of the foremost of nature writers in this country. Some time ago he visited his brother, Eden Burroughs, who lived in the Catkills, at a place called Hobart. The two brothers went fox hunting together. The honor of the hunt came to Eden, who shot the only fox. It so happened that foxskins were worth about $5 at that time, and the successful Nimrod took, much pride in telling how he got the better of the stage of Sibsilden. Later, in boasting to a few friends about it in the presence of his brother, John, he was interrupted by: "You have bragged about that fox hunt long enough. You shot the狐; sold the skin and got $5. I wrote a little account of the hunt and got $75 from the magazine which published it. So there you are!" Four of a Kind Judge Isaac Russell, chief justice of the court of special sessions of New York city, undertook a private and unannounced tour of inspection among the various corrective and charitable institutions of his jurisdiction, says the Saturday Evening Post. Late in the afternoon he entered the outer office of one of the insane asylum. "I should like to make a trip through this place," he said to an undercover who chanced to be in sole charge of the office temporarily. "Visitors' days are Wednesdays and Saturday." said the keeper shortly, "and, besides, it's after hours." "But I insist on being shown through," said his honor. Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Well, you've got a nerve!" growled the keeper. "Who are you to be givin' me orders?" "I am Chief Justice Russell of the court of special sessions." was the answer. "That'll be about all." said the keeper wearily. "We've got three of you in here now. Why don't you call yourself George Washington? There's only one of him." Too Much Riding. A Kansas man who stutters badly visited Chicago and got into the elevator of one of the skyscrapers. He worked his jaw frantically, but could not get the elevator boy to understand what floor he wanted until he had been carried up fourteen stories above where he wanted to go. Then he came down to the lower floor and started up again. After he had gone through this performance several times he stepped out in 'disgust, and hunted up the man who was directing the running of the elevators. "B-say," he stammered, "w-w-w-w-would y-you m-mind speakin' t-o t-th-th that f-fel-feller in th-that cage?

A story is told of the late Dr. Peddie, a Scotch minister, to whom his congregation had presented a pupil robe. He had never worn a robe, and after acknowledging the gift he said he would wait in the vestry five minutes after service to hear any objectors to the innovation. Nobody appeared but one old lady, who, on being asked what her objections were, answered that she had read the epilates of St. Paul and could not find any reference to the apothete wearing a gown. "What epilate did you read?" asked the doctor. "From Romans to Hebrews." answered the old lady, "Well, Janet," said her minister. "I have read from Romans to Hebrews also, and I could never find any reference to the apothete wearing the bre克斯. What would you think if you saw me going into the pupil without bre克斯?" The old lady right there, and the minister wore the robe. HIGH GRADE JOB WORK In Fact Printing of All Kinds Executed Promptly.

HOW TO REMAIN YOUNG AND ALWAYS LOVELY. The fashion of framing the face in a halo of hair upheld by a pad is rapidly passing away, and hair conditions are constantly improving as a result of this change. Looking through the various magazines you will find that the illustrations all depict fair women with the hair dressed most simply and, as a rule, picturesequely. It is quite the mode now for one's locks to be dressed low unless this style is the reverse of becoming. Becoming strands of hair are drawn down almost to the eyebrows and over the tips of the ears. The remainder of the hair is arranged at the back of the head at as low a point as proves becoming. Paris are now just as popular with the girl of 1012 as they were with her grandmother in the days of long ago. Little rolls of hair worn back of the ears also are the fashion, although it is not every face to which this way of arranging the hair is becoming. PAPER BAG COOKERY. Many Different Kinds of Food May Be Prepared In This Way. There is no use denying the popularity of paper bag cooking, even if one were so inclined. It is practical, simple and attractive to all the housewives who have tried it. So many different kinds of food can be prepared in this way. Here are some dishes that will prove successful: Potatoes In a Paper Bag.—Stewed potatoes are a very savory dish cooked in a paper bag. Wash and peel as many potatoes as are wanted, cut each into four thick slices and put in a well greased paper bag, with one finely chopped peeled onion, one tablespoonful of finely chopped parley, two heaping tablespoonfuls of butter or drippings, salt and pepper to taste, half a cupful of water and one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce. In forty minutes turn this savory and delicious potato mixture into a very hot dish and serve at once. Mascotte Apples In Paper. — Take twelve large apples, as nearly the same size as possible. Pare thinly and remove the core with an apply corer. Roll the apples in a well beaten egg and then in plenty of sugar. Add a few drops of lemon extract to the beaten egg. Arrange the apples in a buffered paper bag and bake for half an hour in a moderately hot oven. When done all the center of each with a little strawberry jam. This is a most palatable dessert for lunch or dinner. A Good Definition. "Gent" is an abbreviation which has never been accepted by polite society, as a witness appearing before Justice Wightman once found to his cost. He was testifying to the excellent character of the defendant and among points in his favor remarked that he was "an independent gent." "An independent what?" interrupted Judge Wightman. "A gent, my lord," repeated the wit- ness. "Oh, I understand," replied the judge. "That's something short of a gentle- man, isn't it?"—London Chronicle. A Thirst For Knowledge.

Revenge For-Execution of Professor Ferrer Believed to Have Been Motive of Assassin, Who Killed Himself. Jose Canalefas y Mendes, premier of Spain, and one of the strongest characters in the Spanish government in recent years, was shot to death as OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. he was about to enter the ministry of the interior to attend a meeting of the cabinet in Madrid. The assassination was committed by Manuel Parulinas Serrato Martin, twenty-eight years old, of El Grado, province of Huerica, who recently came from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He fired three bullets from a revolver into the premier's head, and then, as he was arrested, turned the same weapon upon himself and committed suicide. Anarchistic literature was found on his clothing. Perrons nearby when the assassin shot Canalejas heard him say: "Thus I revenge my masters." From this it was deduced that he was a follower of Professor Francisco Ferrer, who was put to death several years ago following the suppression by the Canalejas government of the serious revolutionary outbreak at Barcelona. Canalejas was assassinated in the Puerta del Sol in front of a book stall near the entry to the ministry of the interior. The crime was witnessed by a large number of persons, but Mar The image provided is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph with a blurred background. There are no discernible features or text that can be clearly identified. THOMAS M. CRUMP, Secretary. in acted so quickly that the premier had fallen dead before any could go to his assistance. The a fassin sprang forward from the crowd as it to present a petition to the prime minister. A handkerchief concealed the revolver he had drawn from his pocket. As Canalejas turned his head Martin rapidly fired four shots. The first shot struck the provider behind the right ear, and as he fell two others struck him. The fourth bullet wont wild. Hystamors seized the assailant and handed him over to the police. It was then that he shot himself. Medical aid was summoned and soldiers were brought from nearby barracks to prevent the escape of any accomplices of the assassin who might be nearby. Although the physicians arrived within a few minutes, Canalejna was dead. In his hand he elapsed some papers which he had been carrying when shot. The first shot apparently had been fatal. News of the assassination spread rapidly and caused intense excitement. Immediate steps were taken to cap- ture any possible accomplices and to forestall a revolutionary outbreak. When King Alfonso heard of the death of the premier he is said to have wept with grief. In court circles the prevailing comment was that "Spain's strong man is dead." King Alfonso, who hurried out of the ministry as soon as he heard of the crime, was acclaimed by the people, who had quickly collected at the scene of the shooting. Cannabis had received many death threats. Because of the dangerous state of political unrest in Spain, the premier had been warned repeatedly to retain a personal guard, but he paid no attention to this injunction and frequently wont about unattended. The police believe that the assassination is the direct outcome of the execution of Professor Ferrer. It is their belief that the execution of Ferrer had so preyed upon Martin's mind that he decided to take vengeance into his own hands. Search for the assassin's clothing revealed archival documents which the police seized. It was later inti- mated that others would be involved in the crime. The quarters in which he was living were raided and a number of arrests made. CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL 210 E.
